Lactulose Fresenius Oral Solution 670mg/ml

Lactulose Fresenius Oral Solution 670mg/ml is a gentle, effective treatment for constipation. Lactulose works by drawing water into the bowel to soften stools and make them easier to pass. It is not absorbed into the body, making it suitable for ongoing use under pharmacist or doctor supervision. Results typically occur within 2–3 days.

Also used for managing portal systemic encephalopathy (a liver-related condition) under doctor supervision.
