What is Lactulose?
Constilac (Lactulose) is a type of sugar. It works by breaking down in the large intestine into a mild acid that draws water into the colon, which in turn helps to soften the stool. However, this medication is also occasionally used to treat and prevent complications of the liver, and may help prevent certain brain conditions which are caused by liver failure. While this medication may not cure the issue, it may help to improve your mental status. This medication is referred to as a colonic acidifier.
