Question about 5 years ago

Can I stop taking Lactudos on my own?

Dr. Suhas Bhargav MBBS , General Physician

Self-medicating and then discontinuing Lactudos as per one's own will can have detrimental effects on one's health as there are chances of a relapse. It is thus recommended that one takes Lactudos as prescribed by the doctor and continues with the treatment as per the recommendations. 

Question about 5 years ago

How does Lactudos work?

Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo MBBS , Internal Medicine

Constipation: Lactudos is non-digestible in human beings because of which, it passes as it is into the large intestine. The resident bacteria in the intestine act on it to convert it into lactic acid, acetic acid, and formic acid, drawing fluid into the stool and thus softening it. This makes it easier to pass the stool, and thus helps in relieving constipation.

Hepatic encephalopathy: In the event of liver failure, ammonia detoxification is difficult. If the level of ammonia in the bloodstream increases, it can reach the brain and damage it. Thus it is important to get rid of the excess ammonia. Lactudos pulls ammonia from the bloodstream and helps in discharging it via the stool, thus preventing brain damage.

 

Question about 5 years ago
