Functioning against or inhibiting lactase, the enzyme that breaks down milk sugar.
From anti- + lactase (enzyme from Latin lac, milk, + -ase enzyme suffix). This technical term comes from biochemistry.
Antilactase compounds might theoretically help people with lactose intolerance, but they'd work backwards—preventing the enzyme that lets you digest milk. It's a weird idea in practical terms.
