Name: Lactulose Suspension

How It Works:
Lactulose is a synthetic sugar that acts as an osmotic laxative. It draws water into the bowel, softening stools and making them easier to pass.

Form: Oral liquid (suspension).

Warning:

• Overuse may cause diarrhea, dehydration, or electrolyte imbalance. Use only as directed.
• May cause mild side effects such as bloating, cramps, or flatulence, especially at the start of treatment.
• Contains sugars—patients with diabetes should monitor blood sugar levels and consult a doctor.
