What is Enulose?

Enulose is a branded generic prescription drug that removes ammonia from the bloodstream in patients with portal-systemic encephalopathy. Caused by liver the disease, the ammonia build-up interferes with brain function and may result in coma. Enulose reduces ammonia by 25%-50% in 75% of patients with the condition.

Enulose is sometimes prescribed off-label as a laxative to relieve constipation. It functions as an osmotic laxative, drawing water from the intestinal linings to build up the water content of stools and provide lubrication.

The active ingredient in Enulose, lactulose, is a synthetic sugar similar to lactose, a sugar naturally present in milk. As a laxative, lactulose makes the colon contents acidic and draws water out of the colon tissues which bulk up stools. The higher acid content in the colon also draws ammonia out of the bloodstream. The ammonia gets trapped in the colon and the laxative properties of lactulose expel it quickly from the colon. Enulose does not treat the underlying liver problem.

Enulose is taken as an oral solution, usually two to three tablespoons two to three times a day. daily, and takes one or two days to produce effects.
