Additional Information

What is the Numark Lactulose 500ml?
Numark Lactulose 500ml is a trusted oral solution designed to relieve constipation by helping soften stools and making them easier to pass. It is commonly recommended for people experiencing infrequent or difficult bowel movements and can also be used in certain liver conditions such as hepatic encephalopathy, under medical guidance.
How does the Numark Lactulose 500ml work?
Lactulose is a type of sugar solution that is not absorbed by the body. Instead, it travels to the large intestine where it draws in water. This helps soften stools and stimulates natural bowel movement. By increasing the water content in the stool, it provides gentle but effective relief from constipation without causing irritation.
- Adults: The usual starting dose is 15–45ml daily, which can be adjusted to 15–30ml depending on response.
- Children over 5 years: Typically 15ml daily.
- Children aged 1–5 years: Up to 10ml daily (consult a doctor first).
- Take orally, ideally at the same time each day.

- Tasteless and easy to mix with water, juice, or other liquids.
