Chronic constipation: In every case of chronic constipation, treatment should begin with a fibre-rich diet (vegetables, salads, fruit, etc.), plenty of fluids, and regular physical exercise. Lactulose should only be taken when these measures prove insufficient.

ফার্মাকোলজি

Lactulose is a man-made (synthetic) sugar compound. Once it reaches the colon, resident bacteria break it down, producing small organic acids (mainly lactic acid). This lowers the acidity (pH) of the colon's contents and causes water to be drawn in and held there through an osmotic effect, which in turn boosts bowel muscle movement (peristalsis). Very little lactulose is absorbed into the body, so how the small absorbed portion is processed afterward has no real bearing on how the medicine works.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Category B, according to the US FDA classification for Lactulose. Available evidence has not shown any harmful effects. That said, whether it's suitable to use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding is a decision best left to your physician.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Infants and toddlers start with 1 to 2 teaspoons daily, and for long-term therapy take 1 teaspoon daily.

For reduction of blood ammonia level in hyperammonaemia due to hepatopathy, a maximum of 18 to 30 teaspoons daily is given.

Once the laxative effect has been achieved, the dose may then be reduced.
