Pharmaceutical Information

• Pharmaceutical Application: Tilactase
• Applications: The product is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of lactose intolerance in infants and older patients requiring a parenteral nutrition or fluid diet. Lactose intolerance occurs when there is an existence of an inability to break down lactose which is commonly found in dairy products. This inability occurs when the lactase levels are reduced and thus there is no via to digest and break down the lactose. The undigested lactose moves into the large intestine where normal flora bacteria can interact with it and cause bloating, gas and diarrhea.
• Examples of Clinical Use: Lactose intolerance
• Pharmacodynamics: The use of a single oral administration of the product has been shown to be highly effective in decreasing the symptoms and hydrogen excretion of hypolactasia in tests of lactose H(2)-breath. The analysis has shown a decrease of approximately 80% in both malabsorbers and intolerants.The administration of tilacatase also decreases the presence of bloating and flatus.
• Mechanism of action: Lactose is the primary disaccharide found in dairy products. Tilactase is a type of lactase which is the enzyme that is in charge of the breakdown of lactose to glucose and galactose which can be used by the body. Basically, tilactase acts by replacing the missing lactase in the body and allows avoidance of the reach of lactose to the small intestine and the normal bacteria and thus, preventing the symptoms of the lactose intolerance. Once tilactase has metabolized the lactose, the metabolism products are reabsorbed by the normal process of digestion.
• Affected organisms: Humans and other mammals
• Targets: Target 1. Lactose
