Pharmacological Effects: Lactulose works by drawing water into the colon, softening the stool and promoting bowel movements. In hepatic encephalopathy, it acts by reducing the absorption of ammonia in the gut, thereby lowering ammonia levels in the blood.

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of lactulose in managing constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. A study published in the Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology showed significant improvement in hepatic encephalopathy patients treated with lactulose compared to placebo.
