LACTIHEP PLUS SYP 200ML

About

Lactihep Plus Syrup represents an advanced formulation designed for more comprehensive and potent relief from severe or refractory constipation. Building upon the osmotic action of Lactulose, this "Plus" variant often incorporates additional active ingredients, such as other osmotic agents, stool softeners, or mild stimulant laxatives. This synergistic combination aims to not only draw water into the colon to soften stools but also to gently stimulate intestinal motility, ensuring a more effective and predictable bowel evacuation. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who require a stronger intervention than a single agent can provide, addressing persistent constipation and associated discomforts like straining. The enhanced formulation targets multiple aspects of bowel regulation for improved gastrointestinal function.
