Contraindication

Lactulose is contraindicated in patients with galactosaemia and intestinal obstruction.

Mode of Action

Lactulose promotes peristalsis by producing an osmotic effect in the colon with resultant distention. In hepatic encephalopathy, it reduces absorption of ammonium ions and toxic nitrogenous compounds, resulting in reduced blood ammonia concentrations.

Precaution

It should be used with caution in patients with lactose intolerance and diabetes. Lactation: Unknown whether drug is distributed into milk; use with caution

Side Effect

Initial dosing may produce flatulence and intestinal cramps, which are usually transient. Excessive dosage can lead to diarrhoea, dehydration, nusea, vomiting, hypokalemia.

Interaction

May prevent release of mesalazine in the colon. Decreased effect with oral neomycin, antacids.
