Product Details

This contains a medicine called lactulose (each 5ml contains 3.4g of lactulose) and it is used to treat constipation. This belongs to a group of medicines called osmotic laxatives.

They work by increasing water absorption in the bowel making stools easier to pass. This is because lactulose contains synthetic disaccharides (fructose and galactose) which are broken down in the colon or large bowel by bacteria into acids. These acids pull water into the colon and soften the stools.

Directions

Constipation:

Adults:
    
Initially 15ml twice daily.

     
Children:
    
1 to 5 years - 5ml twice daily.

5 to 10 years - 10ml twice daily.

Dosage may vary depending on the condition. The above dosage serves as a guide. Eventually the dose should be adjusted, usually reduced to meet the needs of the individual.

Hepatic encephalopathy:

Initially 30ml to 50ml, 3 times daily; adjust dose to produce 2 or 3 soft stools daily.

Ingredients

Each 5ml of Lactulose Solution contains 3.4g of lactulose.

Lactose, D-galactose, fructose, D-tagatose and epilactose.

Side Effects

In the event of diarrhoea, adequate fluid intake should be maintained during treatment and the dosage reduced to prevent loss of fluid and potassium and exacerbation of encephalopathy. The product may give rise temporarily to flatulence and abdominal cramping.

Warnings

Contraindicated where there is evidence of gastrointestinal obstruction and in patients who require a galactose-free diet.

The product should only be administered on the advice of a physician during pregnancy or lactation.

You are allergic (hypersensitive) to lactulose or any of the other ingredient.
