Lactulose AL softens the stool and facilitates its passage by attracting water into the intestine. Without a doctor's advice, Lactulose AL may be used to treat constipation (less frequent bowel movements, hard and dry stools) and for conditions where soft stools are needed, for example if you have haemorrhoids or after surgery on the rectum or colon. Only on the advice and under the supervision of a physician should Lactulose AL be used to treat hepatic encephalopathy (brain damage in liver failure manifested by neurological and psychiatric symptoms).
