Medicinal Benefits

Optifiber Granules 90 gm belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Optifiber Granules 90 gm is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (decreased brain function due to liver disease). Optifiber Granules 90 gm contains Lactitol (laxative). Lactitol is a disaccharide sugar. It works by breaking down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, which increases the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content in stools, and stool volume, thereby makes the stool softer and more comfortable to pass and provides relief from constipation. In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, lactitol lowers the colon pH, thereby suppresses the absorption of unionized ammonia and other toxins. It also enhances nitrogen excretion through faeces.
