About PHARMA-LACTULOSE

PHARMA-LACTULOSE is a medication containing the active ingredient LACTULOSE, a type of disaccharide sugar used to treat and manage certain gastrointestinal conditions. It is available in various forms, including tablets and powders, for oral administration.

Key Benefits & Uses

Treatment of chronic constipation and management of symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Reduction of blood ammonia levels in patients with hepatic encephalopathy, a complication of liver disease

Active Ingredient & Action

LACTULOSE works by being broken down in the colon by bacteria, producing short-chain fatty acids and gases, which help to soften and bulk up stool, making it easier to pass. It also helps to reduce the amount of ammonia produced in the gut, which can be toxic to the brain and cause confusion and other symptoms in patients with liver disease.

Important Notes

PHARMA-LACTULOSE should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and administration instructions to avoid gastrointestinal side effects, such as bloating, gas, and diarrhea. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your doctor or pharmacist for guidance. Additionally, inform your doctor or pharmacist about any other medications you are taking, as LACTULOSE may interact with certain medications, such as antacids and laxatives.
