Lactulose Solution 500ml (No Prescription Required)

Please note that this is a generic listed item. Packaging and brand varies.

Lactulose Solution 500ml is an oral solution used to relieve constipation and to help maintain regular bowel movements. It is a synthetic sugar that works as an osmotic laxative: it draws water into the bowel, softens the stool, and promotes natural, comfortable relief.

Key Features

Effective relief from occasional constipation
Softens stools for easier, more comfortable bowel movements
Suitable for adults and children (see dosage guidance below)
No prescription required

How It Works

Lactulose passes unchanged into the colon where it is broken down by natural bacteria. This process increases water content and volume of the stool, stimulating bowel movements. Effect is usually seen within 24–48 hours. This information is intended as a general product description and does not replace medical advice. Always follow the instructions on your specific product packaging.

Dosage & Directions for Use

Always read the label and follow the instructions provided with the product. The guidance below is general and may vary by brand strength.

Adults & adolescents (14+ years): Typically 15–45 ml once daily. After effect is achieved, dose may be reduced to 15–30 ml daily for maintenance.

Take the solution at the same time each day, swallowed directly or mixed with water, juice, or milk.
Use a proper measuring spoon or cup. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose stated on the packaging unless
directed by a healthcare professional.
