Lactulose oral solution

Function and Efficacy

Lactulose is a synthetic non-absorbable disaccharide. It is not absorbed in the intestines and can be decomposed into lactic acid and acetic acid by colon bacteria, which reduces the intestinal pH value to below 6, thereby blocking the absorption of ammonia, reducing the accumulation and absorption of endotoxins, restoring the patient's blood ammonia to normal, and turning from coma to consciousness. Lactulose also has the osmotic activity of disaccharides, which can retain water and electrolytes in the intestinal cavity and produce a hypertonic effect. Therefore, it is also an osmotic laxative. Because this product is non-irritating to the intestines, it can be used to treat chronic functional constipation.

Ingredients

The main ingredient of this product is lactulose, and its chemical name is: 4-O-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-fructofuranosyl.
