It causes a change in the flora of the colon (an increase in the number of lactobacilli), which leads to an increase in acidity in the lumen of the colon and stimulates its peristalsis. Along with this, the volume increases and the feces soften. As a result, a laxative effect develops, without a direct effect on the mucous membrane and smooth muscles of the colon. Under the action of lactulose, there is also the absorption of ammonia in the colon, a decrease in the formation of nitrogen-containing toxic substances in its proximal section and, accordingly, their absorption into the vena cava system. Has the ability to inhibit the growth of Salmonella in the colon.Does not decrease absorption of vitamins and is not addictive. Virtually not absorbed from the intestine. Pharmacokinetics After ingestion, lactulose by passage passes into the colon, where it is metabolized by bacteria that break down sugar. As a result, simple organic acids are formed - mainly lactic acid and to a lesser extent acetic and formic acid. A small amount of lactulose is absorbed and excreted in the urine unchanged. Indications for use Constipation, incl. chronic, during pregnancy, hemorrhoids after surgery on the colon and / or in the anal area, to prepare for surgery on the colon for softening the stool (facilitating bowel movements) with pain syndrome after removal of hemorrhoids hepatic encephalopathy hepatic precoma and coma.Contraindications to use Rectal bleeding colo-, ileostomy suspicion of appendicitis galactosemia patients with lactose intolerance, lactase deficiency, glucose-galactose malabsorption intestinal obstruction hypersensitivity to lactulose.

rarely - arrhythmias, myalgia, increased fatigue, weakness. Drug interaction With simultaneous use with broad-spectrum antibiotics, the therapeutic efficacy of lactulose may decrease.

With the simultaneous use of lactulose can disrupt the release of active substances from enteric drugs with pH-dependent release due to the fact that it lowers the pH of the intestinal contents. Application during pregnancy and lactation. should be used for abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting without verification of the diagnosis.

Use with caution in patients with gastrocardial syndrome.

In such cases, treatment should be started with low doses and increased gradually to avoid the development of flatulence.
