Lactodil 120ml Syrup contains Lactulose as its active ingredient. Lactulose is a synthetic sugar used as a laxative to treat constipation. It works by drawing water into the colon, softening the stool and increasing bowel movements. Lactulose is also sometimes used to treat or prevent certain conditions of the liver when there is too much ammonia in the blood.
Lactodil 120ml Syrup is primarily used for the treatment of constipation. It helps to soften the stool and facilitate bowel movements by increasing water content in the colon. Additionally, Lactulose may be prescribed to manage or prevent hepatic encephalopathy, a condition where there is an accumulation of ammonia in the blood due to liver disease.
