Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. If Lactulose is not available you can go for Sorbitol syrup. Another alternative you can use is Ayurvedic proprietary medications like Softovac sf. This is sugar free and non habit forming.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
