Buy Lactulose Solution

Lactulose solution is a remedy for constipation. It’s easy to take and works quickly to relieve constipation. 

This product is perfect for those whose stools are dry or hard, making them difficult to pass.

 

How Lactulose Solution works

Lactulose Solution helps to ease constipation by working as a stool softener. This means it draws water into your bowel, softening hardened stools and making it easier for them to pass through your system.

Children between 7-14 years old: Take 15ml a day to begin with. You can reduce the dose to 10ml over time.

Children over 14 years old and adults: Take 15-45ml a day to begin with. You can reduce the dosage to 15-20ml over time.

You can take this solution with or without food and mix it with fruit juice or water if it makes it easier for you to take. Always drink around 2 litres of water daily while taking this product.
