Product Benefits
| Core Benefit | Mechanism |
| Gentle and Effective Laxative | Functions through an osmotic mechanism by retaining water in the large intestine, ensuring the stools are bulkier and softer, leading to smooth and comfortable evacuation. |
| Treats Hepatic Encephalopathy | By reducing the $\text{pH}$ in the colon, it traps ammonia ($\text{NH}_3$) as ammonium ($\text{NH}_4^+$), preventing its absorption into the bloodstream and significantly lowering systemic ammonia levels to treat and prevent liver-related cognitive decline. |
| Non-Habit Forming | Unlike stimulant laxatives, Lactulose works physically by osmosis and is not habit-forming, making it suitable for long-term management of chronic constipation. |
| Long-Term Safety Profile | As an unabsorbed sugar, it has a favorable safety profile and is generally well-tolerated, even with the high doses required for hepatic encephalopathy. |
⚠️ Important Usage Note: Lactulose Solution
Dosing Variation: The dose for chronic constipation is typically much lower than the dose required for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy (which requires high, frequent dosing). Follow the prescribed instructions exactly.
Initial Side Effects: You may experience flatulence, bloating, or abdominal discomfort during the first few days of use, which usually subsides as your body adjusts.
Fluid Intake: Ensure adequate fluid intake while taking this medication to maximize the osmotic effect and prevent dehydration
