Lactulose 66.7%

Syrup

Short-term treatment of occasional constipation.

Therapeutic indications
LACTULOSE ABC carries out a laxative action in a physiological way: it recalls water forming soft and voluminous stools that are easy to evacuate, and normalizes the altered bacterial flora in case of constipation.

Dosage and method of use
Adults: the recommended dose is 15 ml per day.
Children: the recommended dose is 10 ml per day.
Infants: the recommended dose is 5 ml per day.
Important: 1 tablespoon = 15 ml = 10 g of lactulose
1 teaspoon = 5ml = 3.3g of lactulose
The correct dose is the minimum sufficient to produce easy evacuation of soft stools. It is advisable to initially use the minimum doses provided. When necessary, the dose can then be increased, but without ever exceeding the maximum indicated.

Take preferably in the evening. Laxatives should be used as infrequently as possible and for no more than seven days. Use for longer periods of time requires a doctor's prescription after adequate evaluation of the individual case.
