Lactulose Oral Solution for Pets
Effective Constipation Relief
Lactulose Oral Solution is a trusted treatment for managing constipation in pets by promoting gentle and consistent bowel movements. This solution contains lactulose, a synthetic disaccharide that works as a colonic acidifier. By altering the environment in the colon, it helps soften stools and increase their frequency, making it an essential remedy for pets with irregular or difficult bowel movements.
Beyond constipation, Lactulose can also support pets with hepatic encephalopathy by reducing ammonia absorption, enhancing your pet’s overall digestive and neurological well-being.
