About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Looz Syrup Orange contains Lactulose 10gm per dose and is primarily indicated for the treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide that is not absorbed in the small intestine but metabolized by colonic bacteria into low molecular weight organic acids, resulting in osmotic retention of water and increased stool volume, thereby facilitating bowel movements. This osmotic laxative effect helps in softening stools and promoting regular bowel activity, making it effective for chronic constipation management. Additionally, Lactulose lowers blood ammonia levels by acidifying the colonic contents, which converts ammonia to ammonium ions, reducing its absorption and thereby aiding in the management of hepatic encephalopathy. Looz Syrup Orange is generally well tolerated; however, common side effects may include abdominal discomfort, flatulence, and diarrhea if overdosed. It is contraindicated in patients with galactosemia and should be used cautiously in diabetic patients due to its sugar content. Dosage should be individualized based on patient response and clinical condition. Regular monitoring is advised during prolonged therapy. This formulation’s palatable orange flavor enhances patient compliance, particularly in pediatric and geriatric populations. Always consult a healthcare professional before initiating treatment with Looz Syrup Orange.
