About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Looz Enema contains Lactulose 20% w/v, a synthetic disaccharide used primarily as a laxative for the treatment of constipation. Lactulose is not absorbed in the small intestine and reaches the colon intact, where it undergoes fermentation by colonic bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids that increase osmotic pressure and stimulate peristalsis, thereby facilitating bowel movements. Looz Enema is indicated for the relief of acute and chronic constipation, especially in patients who require rapid evacuation of the bowel. It is also utilized in the management of hepatic encephalopathy by reducing blood ammonia levels through acidification of the colon content, which promotes the conversion of ammonia to ammonium ions that are less readily absorbed. The enema formulation allows for direct administration into the rectum, providing a localized effect with rapid onset of action, typically within 15 to 30 minutes. Looz Enema should be used with caution in patients with abdominal pain of unknown origin, intestinal obstruction, or hypersensitivity to lactulose. Common adverse effects include abdominal discomfort, flatulence, and diarrhea. It is contraindicated in cases of galactosemia and should be used under medical supervision to avoid electrolyte imbalance and dehydration.

About Lactulose
Lactulose is a laxative used to treat constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. It works by drawing water into the bowel, softening stools, and reducing ammonia levels in the blood. Lactulose is effective in managing constipation and liver-related conditions. In summary, it plays a vital role in promoting bowel health.
How It Works
Lactulose is metabolized by colonic bacteria, producing organic acids that draw water into the colon and enhance stool passage.
