Lactulose is used to treat constipation and is a proven remedy to provide relief. There are many factors that can cause or increase the risk of constipation and it's important to remember that it can become more serious if left untreated for too long.
Lactulose Oral Solution 500ml is recommended for pregnant women, children with constipation, people undergoing or who have recently undergone surgery, elderly people with chronic constipation.
Lactulose is effectively a type of sugar composed of two types, fructose and galactose. It's not metabolised nor absorbed by the body and the substance helps pull water into the colon, softening the stool.
Lactulose Solution Teva also works by promoting peristalsis, pushing food through the digestive system which helps to prevent the onset of constipation as well.
