Lactihep Bottle Of 450ml Syrup
Lactihep 10 GM/15ML Description
Lactihep syrup is primarily used to treat constipation. Its active ingredient is lactulose. Lactulose is a synthetic sugar that is not absorbed in the small intestine but is fermented by bacteria in the colon. This fermentation process softens the stool, increases the frequency of bowel movements and relieves constipation.
Lactihep syrup may take a few days to take effect. It is generally safe to use and may cause minor side effects such as bloating, gas and abdominal discomfort. However, it is critical to seek advice and dosage instructions from a healthcare professional.
