Description

Lactulose is a synthetic, non-digestible sugar that is clinically used to treat constipation, as it exhibits laxative activity; it is also used to treat hepatic encephalopathy-induced hyperammonemia. Lactulose induces retention of water. Metabolites of lactulose have peristalsis-stimulating activity.
