Dlac Oral Solution 3.35 gm/5 ml contains Lactulose, a synthetic disaccharide used primarily as a laxative and for the management of hepatic encephalopathy. Lactulose works by drawing water into the colon, softening stools, and promoting bowel movement, making it effective in treating constipation. In patients with liver disease, lactulose helps reduce the absorption of ammonia from the gut, thereby lowering blood ammonia levels and reducing the risk of hepatic encephalopathy.

Dlac Oral Solution offers a safe and effective treatment for both occasional and chronic constipation, as well as a preventive and therapeutic approach for patients at risk of liver-related neurological complications. Its syrup form ensures easy administration, particularly for children, elderly patients, or those with difficulty swallowing tablets.
