Pharmacodynamics

Lactitol, the active substance of Exportal, is broken down in the large intestine (under the action of the intestinal flora) into low-molecular organic acids, as a result of which osmotic pressure rises here, the volume of feces increases and their consistency is significantly softened, defecation is facilitated, and intestinal function is normalized.
The laxative effect develops within 24 hours after taking the drug. The delayed action is due to the passage of lactitol through the gastrointestinal tract. However, at the beginning of treatment, the effect may occur 2-3 days after using the agent.
In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, hepatic precoma or coma, the laxative effect is achieved due to the migration of ammonia from the blood to the large intestine (due to a decrease in pH and an increase in osmotic pressure in the intestinal lumen) and removal of trapped ammonium ions and other toxic nitrogen-containing substances from the colon.
