Medicinal Benefits

Lactihep 10Gm Powder belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Lactihep 10Gm Powder is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (decrease in brain function due to liver disease). Lactihep 10Gm Powder contains Lactitol (laxative). Lactitol is a disaccharide sugar. It works by breaking down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, which increases the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content in stools, and stool volume, thereby makes the stool softer and more comfortable to pass and provides relief from constipation. In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, lactitol lowers the colon pH, thereby suppresses the absorption of unionized ammonia and other toxins. It also enhances nitrogen excretion through feces.

Side effects of Lactihep 10Gm Powder
