In Depth Information on LAXAN solution
Expert advice for LAXAN solution
- Avoid taking a Lactulose for more than 1 week, unless prescribed by the doctor, as it leads to dependency on the laxative action to produce a bowel movement.
- Together with Lactulose, fiber rich diet containing whole grain bread and cereals, bran, fruits and green leafy vegetables, is essential to maintain healthy bowel function.
- A Lactulose should preferably be taken at bedtime because it requires 6 to 8 hours to show impact.
- Notify your doctor if you are on a low-sugar diet because the Lactulose contains sugars.
- Take Lactulose after 2 hours from other medicines, as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines.
