Looz Solution contains Lactulose as its active ingredient, which belongs to a class of medications known as osmotic laxatives. Lactulose serves two distinct purposes: it is used to treat constipation and, at higher doses, it helps alleviate a complication linked to liver disease known as hepatic encephalopathy.
 
For constipation treatment, Lactulose enhances the water content and bulk of stools in the intestines, making them softer and facilitating easier passage. Composed of sugar molecules, Lactulose is metabolized by bacteria residing in the lower gastrointestinal tract. This process leads to increased acidity in the gut's contents, which decreases the absorption of ammonia, a harmful chemical. The presence of ammonia in the intestine prompts water to be drawn into the lower bowel, increasing stool water content and softening them, thus aiding in the relief of constipation. The effects of lactulose may take as long as 48 hours to manifest.
 
In the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy, Looz Solution similarly decreases the absorption of ammonia from the intestines. Typically, the liver neutralizes ammonia, but in cases of liver disorders such as cirrhosis, blood may circumvent the liver, allowing this toxic substance to enter the brain. This can disrupt cognitive function, leading to confusion, drowsiness, and ultimately coma. By acidifying the intestinal contents, Lactulose limits ammonia absorption, thereby mitigating this liver disease complication.
 
Looz Solution is indicated for constipation and for brain function impairment caused by severe liver conditions like cirrhosis (hepatic encephalopathy and hepatic coma).
 
Caution is advised for individuals with lactose intolerance.
 
It should not be administered to those with an intestinal blockage or who have an inherited inability to metabolize galactose (galactosaemia).
 
Looz Solution must not be used if you are allergic to any of its components. Please notify your doctor or pharmacist if you have a history of such allergies.
 
Looz Solution and its potential side effects can influence individuals variably. Some known side effects associated with this medication include excessive gas in the digestive tract (flatulence), abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. However, not everyone using this medicine will necessarily experience these or any side effects.
