LACTULOSE 10 g/15mL

Lactulose 10 g/15mL is an oral solution used to manage certain digestive conditions. This sugar-based medication helps regulate bowel movements and maintain gut health. Ideal for those seeking relief from constipation or related issues.

Lactulose is primarily used to treat constipation by drawing water into the intestines, softening stools, and stimulating bowel movements. It is also used to manage conditions like hepatic encephalopathy, where it helps reduce ammonia levels in the blood. Lactulose solution is often recommended for those looking for a gentle, non-habit-forming laxative option.

Common effects of lactulose include bloating, gas, and stomach cramps, especially when starting treatment. These symptoms usually subside as the body adjusts. Diarrhea may occur if the dosage is too high, so it's important to follow usage guidelines closely.

Lactulose should be used with caution in individuals with diabetes, as it contains sugars that may affect blood glucose levels. It is also important to stay hydrated while using this medication. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment.

Lactulose may interact with certain medications, including antibiotics and other digestive treatments. It is advisable to avoid alcohol while using lactulose, as it can exacerbate side effects. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
