What is Lactulose used for?

Lactulose is primarily used to treat constipation by drawing water into the intestines, softening stools, and stimulating bowel movements. It is also used to manage certain liver conditions by reducing ammonia levels in the gut. Lactulose solution is often recommended for those who require a gentle, non-stimulant laxative.
