Babies are given the drug per day 2 r. before meals (5-30 ml).
Price
The cost of the drug prelax is pleasantly surprising. An ordinary average family can afford an effective remedy for constipation. The starting price is from 150 rubles.
Prelax for expectant mothers
The condition of a woman while carrying a child is rather vulnerable, therefore not all laxative drugs have a good effect. Prelax syrup for pregnant women is absolutely safe and highly effective. Harm to the health of the baby and mother with regular use is excluded. Lactulose is the initial component of the drug, which affects metabolic processes in the intestine. After the interaction of the drug with microflora, peristalsis increases. These processes normalize the stool.
Lactulose does not enter the bloodstream and does not cause disturbances in embryonic development. With the use of the drug, ammonia is actively utilized. This has a good effect on liver cells, which are subject to additional stress during pregnancy.
Instructions for use for adults
Prelax can be applied in stages.
- The first course includes from 2 to 7 days, 40 ml at a time before meals. If the use of the suspension caused diarrhea, then the dosage is reduced by 10 ml.
- At the second stage, prelax is consumed 3 times, 10 ml each.
Prelax's instruction clearly indicates contraindications - intestinal obstruction, impaired galactose metabolism and individual intolerance to the components of the drug.

Other laxative preparations based on lactulose are also available.
