Gutclear-IG Oral Powder

Gutclear-IG Oral Powder is a medication indicated for the treatment of constipation. It functions as a laxative, combining two active pharmaceutical ingredients: lactulose and ispaghula. Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide that is minimally absorbed in the small intestine.

Upon reaching the colon, it is metabolized by colonic bacteria into low molecular weight organic acids, which increase the osmotic pressure within the lumen. This draws water into the colon, softening the stool and promoting bowel movements. Ispaghula, also known as psyllium husk, is a bulk-forming laxative.

It absorbs water in the gastrointestinal tract, swelling to form a gel-like substance that increases stool bulk and moisture content. This increased bulk stimulates intestinal peristalsis, facilitating the passage of stool. The combined action of these components helps to relieve constipation by both softening the stool and increasing its volume, thereby promoting regular bowel function.

This medication should be administered under the guidance of a healthcare professional, adhering to the prescribed dosage and duration.
