Mechanism of Action

Lactulose is a synthetic sugar that is not absorbed in the digestive system. Instead, it passes through the small intestine and reaches the colon, where it draws water into the intestines through osmotic action. This increased water content softens the stool, making it easier to pass, and promotes regular bowel movements.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include bloating, flatulence, and abdominal discomfort. These effects are generally mild and temporary.

Warning

Consult your healthcare provider before using Constistop Lactulose Solution if you have any underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes, or if you are taking other medications, as lactulose may interact with certain drugs.
