Frequently asked questions
How long does lactulose take to work?
Usually 2 to 3 days of regular dosing. It is not an overnight laxative. If nothing has happened after 3 days, or you have pain or vomiting, see a doctor instead of increasing the dose on your own.
Lactulose vs Duphalac vs Livoluk – are they the same?
Yes. Duphalac, Livoluk, Laxopeg and other brands all contain lactulose 10 g per 15 ml. They differ only in price, taste and bottle size.
Can lactulose be given to babies and children?
Yes, it is commonly prescribed for constipation in children and infants, with the dose set by age and weight. Give it only on a doctor's or pharmacist's advice and for the shortest time needed.
Is lactulose safe in pregnancy?
Yes, lactulose is one of the preferred laxatives in pregnancy because hardly any is absorbed into the body. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.
