Lactovac (Lactulose Oral Solution) provides a gentle yet effective approach to digestive regularity.
As an Osmotic Laxative, it works by being broken down in the colon into mild organic acids. These acids pull water into the intestines, which increases the volume of the stool and makes it softer and easier to pass. Unlike stimulant laxatives, Lactovac works in harmony with the body’s natural processes.
In addition to treating Chronic Constipation, Lactovac is vital for patients with liver disease (Hepatic Encephalopathy). It works by trapping ammonia in the gut and expelling it from the body, thereby protecting brain function. The 170 ml bottle provides a convenient volume for short-term and maintenance therapy.
