You can increase dose of lactose itself.You can take upto 60m.l per day in 2 divided doses.
Drink hot water in morning and before sleeping.
As such any laxative tends to cause habituation after some time.Therefore focus on your diet and life style.
Take more of fresh green leafy vegetables, fruits like orange, pappaya
Do some physical exercise regularly.
