What is Lactulose?
Active Ingredients: Lactulose
Lactulose Oral Suspension is a laxative drug used to treat constipation. This medication is suitable for patients suffering from chronic constipation. A bowel movement is typically produced 24-48 hours after treatment. Lactulose may also be prescribed as an adjunct to prevent hepatic encephalopathy.
