What is Constilac (Lactulose) prescribed for?

Constipation is when your bowel movements are tough or when they happen less often than normal. And almost everyone has gone through this situation in the past. And while it’s not usually serious, it is nice to have your body back on track.

The normal length of time between bowel movements varies from person to person. While some have them three times a day, others may have them just a few times a week. However, going longer than three or more days without a bowel movement is too long. After this point, it will be much more difficult to pass.

This medication is a laxative when used in treatments for constipation. It may help to increase the amount of bowel movements per day, and increases the number of days you have a bowel movement as well. How this medication works is by increasing the stool water content and thus softening the stool. Overall it is a man-mad sugar solution.
