Lactulose Solution 300ml offers a gentle yet effective approach to relieving constipation, working naturally with your body to soften stools and promote regular bowel movements. This trusted solution provides much-needed relief from discomfort and irregularity for various ages.

Description

When constipation strikes, it can cause significant discomfort and impact your daily life. Lactulose Solution 300ml is a proven osmotic laxative designed to provide gentle and effective relief. Unlike some other laxatives, it works by drawing water into the bowel, softening the stool and making it easier to pass naturally.

How Lactulose Solution 300ml Works

Lactulose is a synthetic sugar that isn't absorbed into your bloodstream. Instead, it passes through to your large bowel where it is broken down by natural bacteria. This process creates acids that pull water into the colon, increasing the volume and softness of your stool. This makes bowel movements easier and more comfortable, promoting regular peristalsis (the natural movement of the gut).

You may find that Lactulose Solution 300ml takes between 24 and 72 hours to produce its full effect, so patience is key. For best results and long-term bowel health, it's always beneficial to combine treatment with lifestyle adjustments. Increasing your daily fibre intake, ensuring you drink plenty of fluids, and incorporating regular exercise can all significantly help in both treating and preventing constipation.

Who Can Benefit from Lactulose Solution 300ml?

Lactulose Solution 300ml is recommended for a wide range of individuals experiencing constipation, including:

  • Pregnant women: A common and safe choice for constipation during pregnancy.
