Product details
Description
Lactulose Solution is a treatment for constipation. It’s simple to take and works effectively to provide relief from constipation.
This product is ideal for individuals experiencing dry or hard stools that are difficult to pass.
How Lactulose Solution works
Lactulose Solution alleviates constipation by acting as a stool softener. It draws water into the bowel, softening hardened stools and making them easier to pass through the digestive system.
