Lactulose Solution For Constipation, 500ml

Lactulose Solution is a highly effective laxative solution that is specially formulated to provide quick and effective relief from constipation. This solution contains lactulose, a proven active ingredient that works by drawing water into the bowel, thereby making the stool softer and easier to pass. Unlike other laxatives, Lactulose Solution is not absorbed into the body, ensuring that it works directly on the digestive system to provide fast and effective relief from constipation.

Lactulose Solution is safe for use by adults and children, and it is suitable for people who suffer from chronic constipation. It is easy to use – simply measure the required amount of solution using the included measuring cup and take it orally. The solution has a pleasant taste, making it easy to swallow.
Lactulose Solution is also effective in promoting peristalsis, which helps to push food through the digestive system. This ensures that the bowel is emptied regularly, preventing the build-up of waste material and reducing the risk of constipation.
This Lactulose Solution is available in stores or can be shipped directly to your doorstep. It is an essential product to have on hand for anyone who suffers from constipation, providing fast and effective relief without the need for harsh chemicals or invasive procedures. With Lactulose Solution, you can enjoy a more comfortable and regular bowel movement, ensuring that you stay healthy and active.

What am I constipated?

Normal and regular bowel movement is important for most people. However, what is “normal and regular” varies from person to person. Some may have a bowel movement every day, others less often. Whatever it is like for you, it is best that your bowel movement has a regular pattern.

  • Constipation is an occasional problem for some people. For others, it may happen more often
  • It happens when the normal muscle actions in the bowel (large intestine) slow down. This can mean that material is not easily eliminated from the body

The cause of constipation is often not known. It can be associated with:

  • A sudden change of diet
  • A diet with not enough fibre
  • Not drinking enough fluids
  • Loss of ‘tone’ of the bowel muscles in older people
  • Pregnancy
  • Medicines such as morphine or codeine
  • Having to stay in bed for a long time
  • Lack of exercise
