When your natural rhythm is disrupted by irregular bowel movements or hard stools, this can significantly affect your daily comfort. A difficult toilet visit often causes an unpleasant feeling that you would rather address quickly and responsibly. Healthypharm Laxative syrup lactulose offers mild support to get your digestion back on track, so you feel light and vital again.
- Facilitates bowel movements by drawing water into the intestines, which ensures softer stools.
- Supports natural excretion without the active ingredient being absorbed by the body.
- Suitable for the whole family, with specific dosages for both adults and young children.
- Easy-to-take syrup form that can be accurately measured for your personal needs.
How it works
Healthypharm Laxative syrup contains lactulose, a substance known for its osmotic effect. This means it retains fluid in the large intestine, making the bowel contents more voluminous and softer. This stimulates passage through the intestines in a way that suits your body's own processes. Because lactulose does not enter the bloodstream, it works locally where it is needed to promote natural bowel movements.
