Alimentolax syrup is a modern constipation medicine that contains lactulose. Lactulose has a prebiotic effect in the intestines, helping beneficial bacteria to grow and supporting the normal functioning of the digestive system. When this natural sugar analogue reaches the large intestine, it exerts an osmotic effect there and helps soften the stool.
For adults, the daily starting dose is 15–30 ml (1–2 tablespoons), and the maintenance dose is 10–20 ml. For children, the dose is determined according to age group: 5–10 ml per day for ages 1–6, and 10–15 ml per day for ages 7–14. The medicine can be taken mixed with water or juice and may be taken with meals.
The therapeutic effect usually begins within 2–3 days, but in some cases this period may extend up to a week. Since the medicine’s effect develops gradually, it is not recommended to increase the dose to get faster results.
The main advantage of Alimentolax syrup is its natural and safe composition. Lactulose is not broken down in the body and does not cause dependence, so it is suitable for long-term use. The medicine can be used safely by pregnant and breastfeeding women, elderly people, and children. By normalizing intestinal microflora, it improves overall digestive health.
Contraindications include galactosemia, intestinal obstruction, unknown abdominal pain, and hypersensitivity to lactulose. Patients with diabetes should use it with caution, as the product may contain small amounts of sugar. Side effects may include gas formation and abdominal bloating at the beginning of treatment, but these symptoms are usually temporary.
