Yes, lactulose is a gentle and safe option for your age. Typical dose is 15â20 mL once or twice daily with plenty of water. It softens stool without harsh effects. The watery leakage alongside constipation is actually overflow â hard stool stuck inside with liquid seeping around it. So do see a doctor first to assess the extent of retention, as you may need a proper clearout before starting maintenance. Increase fiber and water intake daily.
