Lactulose-QUIMTULAC-10G/15ML -125 MLQUIMPHARMA

Restore regular, comfortable digestion with Quimtulac Oral Solution. Manufactured by Laboratorios Quimpharma, this effective oral solution contains 10g of Lactulose per 15ml. Operating as a gentle osmotic laxative, Quimtulac works by drawing water into the colon to soften stools and stimulate natural bowel movements without irritating the intestinal lining. It is widely prescribed for the treatment of chronic or acute constipation and the management of portal-systemic encephalopathy.

Key Features

• Gentle Osmotic Action: Lactulose passes unabsorbed into the colon, where it breaks down into organic acids. These acids draw water into the bowel, increasing stool volume and softening it for painless elimination.

• Predictable Constipation Relief: Provides a reliable solution for chronic, occasional, or post-operative constipation without causing dependency or sudden urgency.

• Prebiotic Benefits: By lowering the pH balance in the colon, it promotes a favorable environment for beneficial gut bacteria (like Lactobacillus), supporting overall digestive wellness.

• Ammonia-Lowering Capabilities: In higher clinical doses, Quimtulac helps trap and convert ammonia ($NH_3$) in the gut into ammonium ($NH_4^+$), preventing it from entering the bloodstream and supporting patients with liver complications.

• Easy-to-Take Liquid: The pleasant, naturally sweet-tasting solution can be taken on its own or mixed into water, juice, or milk for easy administration.

Important Safety Warnings & Precautions

• Diabetic Alert: Because of its manufacturing process, Lactulose naturally contains small amounts of free lactose and galactose. Individuals managing diabetes should use this product with caution and monitor blood glucose levels closely.

• Contraindications: Do not use if you require a low-galactose diet (galactosemia), suffer from acute intestinal obstruction, or have a known hypersensitivity to lactulose.

• Potential Side Effects: During the first few days of treatment, mild flatulence (gas), abdominal bloating, or minor cramping may occur as your digestive system adjusts. These symptoms typically subside. Excessive doses may lead to diarrhea and electrolyte imbalance.

• Pregnancy & Lactation: Lactulose is minimally absorbed systemically and is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but should still be approved by your OB-GYN.

Storage: Store at room temperature not exceeding 30°C (86°F). Do not freeze, as freezing can cause the solution to thicken and crystallize. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children.
