Sell LAEVOLAC SYRUP 100ML (EXP-08/2023) best price

Laevolac is a synthetic disaccharide derivative of lactulose and acts by its osmotic properties in the luminal fluid. The primary osmotic effect of lactulose, which is not absorbed in the intestine, may be augmented in the distal ileum and colon by bacterial metabolism of the disaccharide to lactate and other organic acids that are only partially absorbed. Another aspect of action of lactulose is reduction of intestinal ammonia, presumably because of reduced production and increased utilization of ammonia by intestinal bacteria and enhanced excretion of ammonia in the faeces. Laevolac is the solution for constipation and hepatic encephalopathy as well. At medium dosage level, light abdominal pain may occur.
