LACTULOSE 10 g/15mL

Lactulose 10 g/15mL is an oral solution used to promote regular bowel movements. This sugar-based laxative helps manage constipation by drawing water into the intestines. Lactulose is a common treatment for occasional constipation and is available in a convenient liquid form.

Lactulose 10 g/15mL is primarily used to relieve constipation. It works by increasing the water content in the intestines, which softens stools and stimulates bowel movements. This solution is often recommended for those who need a gentle, non-habit-forming laxative. Lactulose is also used to manage certain liver-related conditions, but always consult a healthcare provider for specific uses.

Common effects of lactulose include increased bowel movements and softer stools. Some users may experience bloating, gas, or cramping as the body adjusts to the medication. These effects are usually mild and temporary. If severe or persistent, consult a healthcare professional.

Lactulose should be used with caution in individuals with diabetes, as it contains sugars. It is important to follow the recommended dosage to avoid excessive bowel movements. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting lactulose, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.

Lactulose may interact with certain medications, including antibiotics and other laxatives. 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 to avoid potential interactions.
