Lactose India Limited Sewri, Mumbai, Maharashtra

Lactulose solution is a colonic acidifier. It works by drawing water into the colon, which softens the stool and helps to produce a bowel movement.

Lactose is a disaccharide sugar derived from galactose and glucose that is found in milk. Lactose makes up around 2–8% of milk (by weight), although the amount varies among species and individuals, and milk with a reduced amount of lactose also exists. It is extracted from sweet or sour whey. The name comes from lac orlactis, the Latin word for milk, plus the -ose ending used to name sugars.
