Uses
Lactulose is is a synthetic, non-digestible sugar used in the treatment of chronic constipation; laxative. pharmaceutical excipient A keto analogue of lactose.
-
Indications
Osmotic laxatives (e.g., lactulose, sorbitol) are poorly
absorbed or nonabsorbable compounds that draw additional
fluid into the GI tract. Lumen osmolality increases,
and fluid movement occurs secondary to osmotic
pressure. Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide
that is poorly absorbed from the GI tract, since no
mammalian enzyme is capable of hydrolyzing it to its
monosaccharide components. It therefore reaches the
colon unchanged and is metabolized by colonic bacteria
to lactic acid and to small quantities of formic and acetic
acids.
-
Clinical Use
Lactulose is used in the
treatment of hepatic encephalopathy.
