LAXIL SOLUTION 200ML

About

Laxil Solution is an osmotic laxative primarily used for the treatment of chronic constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. Its active ingredient, typically lactulose, is a synthetic disaccharide that is not absorbed in the small intestine. Instead, it passes into the colon where it is metabolized by colonic bacteria into low molecular weight organic acids. This process leads to an increase in osmotic pressure within the colon, drawing water into the bowel lumen. The increased water content softens the stool and increases its bulk, stimulating peristalsis and promoting regular bowel movements. In hepatic encephalopathy, lactulose also helps to reduce the absorption of ammonia by lowering the pH in the colon, trapping ammonia ions, and promoting their excretion. Laxil Solution offers a gentle yet effective approach to managing constipation, providing relief without causing dependency.
