Composition

• Each chewable tablet contains Lactase USP 9000 IU.
• Each milliliter of the liquid drop contains Lactase USP 0.11 gm, equivalent to 3333.33 units.

Pharmacology

Lactase is an essential enzyme that alleviates the symptoms of lactose intolerance by breaking down lactose (the sugar found in milk) into glucose and galactose through hydrolysis. This process enhances the digestibility of dairy products.
