INSTRUCTION FOR THE SPECIALIST.
Description of the drug approved by the manufacturer for the printed edition of 2013.
PHARMACHOLOGIC EFFECT
Laxative drug.
In the large intestine, lactitol is split under the action of the intestinal flora into low-molecular organic acids, which leads to an increase in osmotic pressure in the large intestine, an increase in the volume of fecal masses, their softening, facilitating bowel movements and normalizing bowel function. The laxative effect usually occurs within 24 hours after application of the drug (delay is due to the passage of the drug through the gastrointestinal tract). At the beginning of the course of treatment, the laxative effect of the drug may be delayed, the effect may occur on the second or third day of its use.
In patients with hepatic encephalopathy or hepatic coma (or precoma), the effect is achieved through the migration of ammonia from the blood to the large intestine (due to a decrease in PH, an increase in osmotic pressure in the lumen of the intestine), removal of detached ammonium ions and other nitrogen-containing toxic substances from the colon.
Lactitol suppresses proteolytic bacteria and increases the number of acidophilic bacteria.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Lactitol has its effect only in the large intestine, where it completely falls after ingestion. It is absorbed in minimal amounts in unchanged form (no more than 0.5-2% of the accepted dose).

The drug should cause a stool 1 time / day; after the onset of a stable laxative effect for several days of the drug, its dose can be reduced. In some cases, half of the recommended daily dose is sufficient to obtain the desired effect.

In hepatic encephalopathy, hepatic precoma and coma, hyperammonia, the dose of the drug should be selected individually for each patient, depending on the severity of the disease and individual response to the drug. The initial daily dose is usually 500-700 mg / kg body weight. This dose is divided into 3 single doses. Take with food. A dose that causes two "soft" stools per day should be selected.
