About Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm

Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (a decrease in brain function due to liver disease). Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disease in which the liver does not remove toxins from the body, leading to loss of brain function.

Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm contains Lactitol, a disaccharide sugar that breaks down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, increasing the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content and stool volume, thereby making the stool softer and more comfortable to pass and providing relief from constipation. In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, lactitol lowers the colon pH, thereby suppressing the absorption of unionized ammonia and other toxins. It also enhances nitrogen excretion through faeces.

You are advised to take Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as abdominal distension, cramps, and flatulence (gas). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm. Consult your doctor before taking Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe you Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Inform your doctor if there is no bowel movement or if you find rectal bleeding after taking Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm. Do not take Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Lactihusk Sugar Free Powder 180 gm for a bowel movement.
