Novartis Sandoz Lactulose Oral Solution - 300ml

Lactulose 3.3g 5ml is a mild laxative oral solution used to treat constipation. You can use it when you're experiencing difficulty pooing (constipation) or if you're suffering from portal-systemic encephalopathy (liver disease). Lactulose oral solution works by pulling water into your bowel, thus, softening your stool (poo) to encourage normal bowel movement. Lactulose oral solution is suitable for children and grown-ups, but you must be over the age of 16 years to buy this product. The active ingredients include Lactulose (in the form of Lactulose liquid).
Lactulose Solution is a natural laxative and works by softening stools and promoting their movement through the bowel. It is a colonic acidifier and works by drawing water into the colon, which softens the stool and helps to produce a bowel movement.
This product is suitable for use by pregnant women, nursing mothers, children with constipation, people who recently underwent surgery, and elderly people or people with severe and/or chronic constipation.
