Lactulose Solution - 500ml (Brand May Vary)

Lactulose Solution 500ml is a gentle osmotic laxative used to relieve constipation by softening stools and helping restore regular bowel movements.

Lactulose works by drawing water into the bowel, which softens stools and makes them easier to pass without stimulating the bowel. It is suitable for people who require a non-habit-forming laxative, including older adults and those who need a gentler option for ongoing constipation management.

The large 500ml bottle is ideal for short-term or regular use when advised by a healthcare professional, offering flexible dosing for individual needs.
