Contact SupplierWe are offering lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide used in the treatment of constipation & hepatic encephalopathy. It has also been used in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders.
Lactulose is a disaccharide (sugar) synthesized from fructose & galactose, lactulose is used to treat constipation and some liver diseases. Nondigestible in mammals, lactulosepasses unabsorbed down to the large intestine where resident bacteria consume it and produce lactic, acetic and formic acids, which draw fluid into the bowel to soften the stool (laxative effect). Acidification of the colon contents attracts ammonia from the bloodstream, assisting stool excretion; helpful in liver failure when ammonia cannot be detoxified.
