Mylan Lactulose Oral Laxative Solution - 500ml Bottle
Severe constipation and hard, dry stools can make bowel movements painful and lead to complications like anal fissures or hemorrhoids. Mylan Lactulose Solution provides gentle, non-stimulant laxative relief. As a synthetic sugar solution that is not absorbed into the body, it draws water into the lower bowel via osmosis, softening hard stools and naturally stimulating intestinal motility without causing harsh cramping or dependency.
How to Use / Operate
Measure the dose using the provided measuring cap. Adults initial dose: 15ml to 45ml daily. Doses can be taken once daily (preferably at breakfast) or split into two doses. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
