Lactulose Oral Solution is an osmotic laxative used to treat constipation by softening hard, dry stools and making them easier to pass.

Lactulose draws water into the bowel, which softens stools and supports more comfortable, regular bowel movements.

Lactulose usually takes two to three days to produce its full laxative effect.

Measure the recommended dose using a suitable measuring cup or spoon and swallow it immediately. It can be taken as a single daily dose or divided into two doses.
