Frequently asked Questions about Riliz

Question almost 6 years ago

Can Riliz be used in children?

Dr. Braj Bhushan Ojha BAMS , Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Ayurveda, Sexology, Diabetology

Yes, Riliz can be used in children. Constipation is one of the highly prevalent problems in childhood. In children above 6 months of age, dietary modifications are recommended for the prevention and management of constipation, however, if there is no respite, osmotic laxatives such as lactulose have been found to be effective.

Question about 6 years ago

How does Riliz work?

Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo MBBS , Internal Medicine

Constipation: Riliz 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. Riliz pulls ammonia from the bloodstream and helps in discharging it via the stool, thus preventing brain damage.

Question over 5 years ago

Does Riliz cause bloating?

Dr. Kishan Barnwal MBBS , General Physician

Yes, Riliz is associated with bloating and distention. This is because Riliz produces gas upon its degradation in the colon.

Does Riliz prevent stroke?

Dr. Mayank Yadav MBBS , General Physician
