Medicinal Benefits

Lactihep Syrup belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Lactihep Syrup is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (decrease in brain function due to liver disease). Lactihep Syrup is a combination of two drugs: Lactitol (laxative) and benzoic acid (organic compound). 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 making the stool softer and easier to pass and providing relief from constipation. In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, lactitol lowers the colon pH, thereby suppressing the absorption of unionized ammonia and other toxins. It also enhances nitrogen excretion through faeces. Benzoic acid acts as a preservative.

About Lactihep Syrup

Lactihep Syrup belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Lactihep Syrup is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (decrease in brain function due to liver disease). Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass. Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disease in which the liver does not remove the toxins from the body, which leads to loss of brain function.

You are advised to take Lactihep Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as abdominal distension, cramps and flatulence (gas). Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Regularly monitoring of serum electrolytes, blood lactose and blood glucose levels is advised. Talk to your doctor if there is no bowel movement or if you find rectal bleeding after taking Lactihep Syrup . Do not take Lactihep Syrup for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Lactihep Syrup for a bowel movement. Consult your doctor before taking Lactihep Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, your doctor will prescribe you Lactihep Syrup only if the benefits outweigh the risks.
