Global Lactulose Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide sugar composed of galactose and fructose, often used as a medication for the treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. It is not absorbed in the small intestine and reaches the colon intact, where it undergoes fermentation by gut bacteria. This fermentation process results in the production of short-chain fatty acids and gases, promoting an osmotic effect and softening of stools, relieving constipation. In the context of hepatic encephalopathy, lactulose is employed to reduce ammonia levels in the colon by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria that utilize ammonia for their own metabolism. Lactulose is available in various formulations, including liquid solutions and powders, and is commonly prescribed for individuals with constipation or liver conditions contributing to elevated ammonia levels.
