LACTULOOZ 100 

Lactulose (3.33)/10ml

LACTULOOZ 100, is a widely prescribed medication recognized for its effectiveness in treating various conditions related to the digestive system. This article provides an in-depth look at Lactulose (3.33 g/10ml), discussing its uses, side effects, dosage, and pricing details, ensuring you have all the necessary information.

What is LACTULOOZ 100?

LACTULOOZ 100 is a form of synthetic sugar used primarily to treat constipation and some liver diseases. Unlike typical over-the-counter laxatives, Lactulose works by altering the speed of digestion, helping to increase the amount of water in the stool, thus easing its passage. Additionally, it is employed in reducing the blood ammonia levels in patients with hepatic disease, aiding in the prevention of hepatic encephalopathy.

Uses of LACTULOOZ 100

1. Constipation: LACTULOOZ 100 is effectively used to treat chronic constipation by improving bowel movements and making stool passage smoother and more frequent.
2. Hepatic Encephalopathy: It is also prescribed for the management and prevention of hepatic encephalopathy, a condition associated with liver dysfunction, which can lead to confusion, altered level of consciousness, and coma.

How Does LACTULOOZ 100 Work?

Lactulose is a non-digestible form of sugar that gets broken down in the large intestine into products that pull water out of the body and into the colon. This water softens stools. Moreover, in patients with liver diseases, Lactulose helps to trap and expel ammonia from the body, which can be detrimental at high levels.

Dosage and Administration

1. Constipation:

   • Adults: The recommended starting dose is 15-30 ml of LACTULOOZ 100 per day. The dosage can be adjusted based on individual response and needs but usually ranges from 15-45 ml daily.
   • Children: Pediatric dosing needs to be precisely directed by a healthcare provider.

2. Hepatic Encephalopathy:

   • The dosage typically starts from 30-45 ml three times a day, adjusted according to the patient's needs and medical guidance.

It's important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider to optimize treatment and minimize risks.

Side Effects

While LACTULOOZ 100 is generally safe when used as directed, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

• Bloating
• Gas
• Stomach cramps
• Diarrhea, if the dosage is too high

Prolonged use or overuse can lead to an imbalance of electrolytes (such as low potassium levels) and dehydration. 

Precautions

• Diabetes: Patients with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels as Lactulose can increase blood sugar levels.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but it's still advisable to consult your healthcare provider.
• Allergy: Avoid using LACTULOOZ 100 if you have a known allergy to Lactulose or any of its components.

Price and Availability
