  1. E is the answer and there is no winner for this question
    Details Below:
    Lactulose is a semi-synthetic disaccharide that can be safely used on a long￾term basis in elderly patients to maintain regular bowel evacuation, especially
    in patients with limited mobility. The initial adult dose of lactulose is 15 ml
    twice daily and this may be adjusted according to the individual’s needs.
    Therefore 20 ml daily dose is an acceptable dosage regimen.
