Lactulose Concentrate U.S.P. Eq. to Lactulose 10gm.
Lactulose Concentrate U.S.P. (Eq. to Lactulose 10gm) is a medication primarily used as a laxative to treat constipation and to manage hepatic encephalopathy, a liver-related brain disorder. Lactulose works by drawing water into the bowel, softening stools and promoting bowel movements. It also helps in reducing the absorption of ammonia in the intestines, which is beneficial for patients with liver disease to prevent the buildup of toxic substances in the brain. The syrup is typically taken orally, and the dosage is adjusted based on the individual’s condition. Common side effects include bloating, gas, and diarrhea. It should be used as directed by a healthcare provider to avoid overuse or complications.
