Key features
LAXILOSE Syrup 300 ml is an oral syrup formulation containing lactulose 67% as the active ingredient. As a hyperosmotic synthetic disaccharide, lactulose is fermented by colonic bacteria to increase intraluminal osmotic pressure, drawing water into the bowel to soften stools and promote evacuation, and it also aids in lowering systemic ammonia by converting it to nonabsorbable forms in the gut. It is indicated for acute and chronic constipation and for prevention and treatment of hepatic encephalopathy, including portal-systemic encephalopathy. Available OTC in a 300 ml syrup pack.
