Lactulose 10g/15ml Oral Solution 10 Sachets

Lactulose Oral Solution 10g/15ml Sachets for Gentle Constipation Relief

You can rely on these convenient single-dose sachets to provide effective relief from constipation. Each sachet contains 10g of lactulose in a 15ml oral solution, offering a measured dose that works gently with your body's natural processes. The sachets are easy to carry and use, making treatment simple whether you're at home or away.

This lactulose oral solution belongs to a group of medicines called osmotic laxatives. Unlike stimulant laxatives, it works by drawing water into your bowel, which softens stools and makes them easier to pass. The gentle action typically takes 1-3 days to show full effect, allowing your digestive system to respond naturally.

How Lactulose Works in Your Digestive System

When you take lactulose, it passes through your stomach unchanged and reaches your large intestine. There, beneficial bacteria break it down into substances that increase the water content in your bowel. This process softens hard stools and increases their bulk, making bowel movements more comfortable and regular.

The osmotic action also stimulates the natural contractions of your intestinal muscles, helping to restore normal bowel function. This dual mechanism makes lactulose particularly suitable for people who need ongoing management of chronic constipation or those recovering from illness or medication that has affected their bowel habits.

Who Can Benefit from Lactulose Sachets

These sachets are suitable for adults and children over 1 year of age who experience occasional or chronic constipation. You might find them particularly helpful if you prefer a gentle approach to bowel management or if you've found stimulant laxatives too harsh. Many people choose lactulose when they need reliable constipation relief that won't cause sudden urgency.

Lactulose sachets are especially beneficial for:

• People with chronic constipation who need regular, gentle relief
• Those recovering from surgery or illness affecting bowel function
• Individuals taking medications that cause constipation as a side effect
• Anyone who prefers a non-stimulant approach to bowel management

Why Choose Single-Dose Sachets

The sachet format ensures you receive an accurate dose every time, eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of taking too much or too little. Each sachet is sealed to maintain freshness and potency, and the portable size means you can maintain your treatment routine even when travelling or at work.

Unlike bottles of liquid lactulose, sachets don't require measuring spoons or cups, making them more hygienic and convenient. The pre-measured doses also help you track your intake more easily, which is particularly useful if you're monitoring your response to treatment or discussing your symptoms with a healthcare professional.

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

You should store these sachets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. The sealed packaging protects the solution from contamination and maintains its effectiveness until the expiry date printed on each sachet. Once opened, you should use the entire contents of a sachet immediately - don't save partial doses for later use.

Keep the sachets in their original packaging until you're ready to use them. This protects them from temperature fluctuations and ensures the solution remains stable. Always check the expiry date before use and dispose of any expired sachets safely.
