Frequently asked Questions about Lacsan

Question over 5 years ago

Does Lacsan cause bloating?

Dr. Kishan Barnwal MBBS , General Physician

Yes, Lacsan is associated with bloating and distention. This is because Lacsan produces gas upon its degradation in the colon. If you experience excess bloating after taking Lacsan, please consult your doctor about taking an alternative medicine. Follow your doctor's advice regarding the right treatment for you.

Question almost 6 years ago

How does Lacsan work?

Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo MBBS , Internal Medicine

Constipation: Lacsan is non-digestible in human beings because of which, it passes as it is into the large intestine. The resident bacteria in the intestine act on it to convert it into lactic acid, acetic acid, and formic acid, drawing fluid into the stool and thus softening it. This makes it easier to pass the stool, and thus helps in relieving constipation.

Hepatic encephalopathy: In the event of liver failure, ammonia detoxification is difficult. If the level of ammonia in the bloodstream increases, it can reach the brain and damage it. Thus it is important to get rid of the excess ammonia. Lacsan pulls ammonia from the bloodstream and helps in discharging it via the stool, thus preventing brain damage.
