Lactitol Monohydrate

Used For

Constipation

How it works

Lactitol is a disaccharide derivative consisting of galactose and sorbitol which is only minimally absorbed and is not hydrolyzed by the disaccharides of the gastrointestinal tract and thus reaches the colon unchanged. In the colon it is broken down to short chain organic acids, mainly acetic, propionic and butyric acid, by the intestinal flora, in particular by the bacteroides and lactobacilli, thus acidifying the contents of the colon. The effect of this acidification reduces the absorption of ammonia. The transformation of lactitol into low molecular weight organic acids results in an increase in osmotic pressure in the colon, thereby causing an increase in the stool water content and stool volume which explains the laxative effect.

Usage & Safety

Lacasil 120Ml Usage And Safety
Dosage

Lactitol Monohydrate

Side Effects

At the beginning of treatment, lactitol can cause abdominal discomfort, such as flatulence and, although rarely, abdominal pain or sometimes a bloating sensation. Such effects tend to diminish or disappear after a few days of treatment with lactitol. Due to inter-individual differences, some patients, even when taking the recommended dose, may suffer from diarrhoea. A reduction in dosage will solve this problem.

Drug Interactions

Laxatives should not be taken at the same time as other medications, after taking a medication, wait at least 2 hours before taking a laxative. Lactitol can increase the potassium losses caused by other medicines (e.g., thiazide diuretics, corticosteroids, carbenoxolone, amphotericin B). Lactitol can increase digitalis toxicity. Concomitant administration of lactitol with neomycin can cause an increase in neomycin?s activity. If large spectrum antibacterial agents and antacids are administered along with lactitol, it can cause a reduction in acidification effect of lactitol on intestinal microflora and consequently limiting therapeutic efficacy.
