Product Introduction
Gutlala Solution contains lactulose, a synthetic disaccharide derived from lactose and used as a laxative. It is indicated for chronic constipation and hepatic encephalopathy, a condition in which impaired liver function permits accumulation of toxins in the blood that interfere with cerebral function. Gutlala Solution functions as a prebiotic, promoting growth of beneficial gastrointestinal bacteria and supporting gut health. The medication is suitable for use in paediatric and elderly patients with constipation. Gutlala Solution is an effective medication for relief of digestive symptoms and conditions. It may relieve symptoms associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a gastrointestinal disorder characterised by abdominal pain, bloating, and altered bowel habits. This medication may affect blood sugar levels; patients with diabetes or a family history of diabetes should inform their healthcare provider before use.
Uses
Chronic constipation Hepatic encephalopathy Preoperative bowel preparation Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth Irritable bowel syndrome
How it works
The therapeutic effect of Gutlala Solution is primarily to relieve constipation and improve symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy. It works by increasing the water content of the stool and promoting bowel movements, which makes it easier to pass stools and relieve constipation. In the case of hepatic encephalopathy, this medication reduces the number of toxins in the blood that affect brain function by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and reducing the pH in the colon, thus facilitating the excretion of these toxins through the stool.
How to Use
Gutlala Solution is usually taken orally in liquid form. The medication may be taken with or without food, and the dosage and frequency of use will depend on the individual's condition and response to treatment.
Side Effects
Gutlala Solution causes some side effects like all medications, although not everyone will experience them.
