GUTCLEAR contains lactitol or lactulose is a laxative which is used to manage constipation. Lactulose makes the stool softer and easier to pass, by drawing water into the bowel. It is not absorbed into your body and cannot be digested; hence it is transported to the colon unmodified. There it is degraded to acids by enteric bacteria which helps in retaining water in the colon. This results in an extension of the intestinal volume in the colon and indirectly stimulates bowel movement. It is used at high doses to prevent and manage cerebral dysfunction due to liver diseases.

Always take GUTCLEAR exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take this medicine, if you suffer from obstruction of the bowels, galactose intolerance, inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases.

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.
