Lactulac 10mg Syrup 100ml contains a single active ingredient: lactulose (10000 mg). Here's how it works:

• Osmotic Effects: Lactulose is an osmotic laxative. It draws water into your bowels, making your stools softer and more comfortable to pass. This process is essential in managing constipation.

• Reduction of Blood Ammonia: In cases of hepatic encephalopathy, lactulose reduces blood ammonia levels. High blood ammonia levels can harm the central nervous system; thus, minimising these levels mitigates their toxic effects.

• Stool Softening: When broken down by bacteria in the colon, lactulose increases the acidity and osmotic pressure within the colon. This results in a higher stool water content and softer stools.

• Store Lactulac 10mg Syrup 100ml at room temperature below 30°C.
