Drug Details
Lactulose is a laxative prescribed to alleviate constipation. It works by drawing water into the bowel, softening the stool, and making it easier to pass. This medication, often taken once daily by mouth, might take up to two days to produce a bowel movement. Common side effects include stomach pain and gas. Lactulose is a synthetic sugar solution that enhances bowel movement frequency and regularity. There is also a version of this medication used for managing symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy, a liver-related condition. Always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
