Description
Serelose is a hyperosmolar laxative which is used as an effective treatment approach for constipation. It is a non-absorbable disaccharide which draws water into the bowel; causes distention through fluid accumulation, thus promotes soft stool and accelerates bowel motion.
Pharmacology
Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide. Lactulose is metabolized in the colon by the saccharolytic bacteria, producing low molecular weight organic acids (mainly lactic acid), which lowers the pH of the colon contents, promote the retention of water by an osmotic effect; thus increasing peristaltic activity. Lactulose is minimally absorbed; therefore, the pharmacokinetics of the absorbed material are not relevant to the principal therapeutic action.
Dosage & Administration
In constipation ( chronic constipation):
- Adults: Initially 3-6 tea-spoons daily, In long-term therapy 1½-6 tea-spoons daily
- Children up to 14 years: Initially 3 tea-spoons daily, In long-term therapy 1-2 tea-spoons daily

- Hyper-ammoniemia in hepatopathy: a maximum of 18-30 tea-spoons daily.
- In portal systemic encephalopathy: hourly doses of 6-9 tea-spoons of Lactulose solution may be used to induce the rapid laxation. When the laxative effect has been achieved, the dose may then be reduced.
