About Leohusk-L Sugar Free Orange Flavour Powder 100 gm
Leohusk-L Sugar Free Orange Flavour Powder 100 gm belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Leohusk-L Sugar Free Orange Flavour Powder 100 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.
Leohusk-L Sugar Free Orange Flavour Powder 100 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.
