Key Features
- Effective Treatment for Constipation: Lactulose helps draw water into the colon, softening stools and encouraging regular bowel movements in pets suffering from constipation.
- Helps Manage Hepatic Encephalopathy: Reduces blood ammonia levels in pets with liver issues by converting ammonia into ammonium, which is then excreted via the intestines.
- Gentle and Non-Systemic: Lactulose works locally in the colon without being absorbed into the bloodstream, reducing the risk of systemic side effects.
- Adjustable Dosage: The dosage can be tailored to suit the size, breed, and specific condition of your pet, ensuring effective treatment.
- Safe for Long-Term Use: Safe for prolonged use in pets with chronic constipation or hepatic encephalopathy, under veterinary guidance.
Ingredients
- Lactulose: A synthetic disaccharide sugar that works as a laxative by drawing water into the colon to soften stools and promote bowel movements. It also helps manage hepatic encephalopathy by reducing blood ammonia levels.
- Fructose: A monosaccharide sugar present in small amounts, contributing to the overall effect of lactulose.
- Galactose: A monosaccharide sugar present in small amounts, contributing to the osmotic effect.
- FD&C Yellow No. 6: A synthetic dye used for coloring the solution.
- Purified Water: Used as the solvent for the solution.
- Sodium Hydroxide: Used to adjust the pH level of the solution to ensure stability and effectiveness.
