mechanism of action : 

lactuloop (lectulose) works by drawing water into the bowel and makes the stool softer and easier to pass, thereby providing relief from constipation. lactulose helps in normalising the bowel movements. it is a type of sugar which is broken down in the large intestine into mild acids that draws water into the colon and softens the stools. lactulose also helps in the growth of good gut bacteria which help in proper digestion.
