Lactulose (3.33)/10ml..

When it comes to treating constipation safely and effectively, lactulose solution USP is one of the most trusted medicines. Branded as LACTULOOZ 100, this syrup is widely prescribed by doctors for patients who struggle with bowel irregularities. Many people search for lactulose solution USP uses, lactulose syrup dose for adults, and how to take lactulose solution USP. This article explains everything you need to know in a patient-friendly way.

What is Lactulose Solution USP?

Lactulose solution USP is a synthetic sugar-based medicine that works as a laxative. It is not absorbed into the body but instead travels to the colon, where it helps soften stools and promotes regular bowel movements. This makes it especially effective for people with chronic constipation, irregular bowel habits, and in certain cases, for patients with liver problems (hepatic encephalopathy).

Uses of Lactulose Solution USP

Doctors recommend LACTULOOZ 100 for:

• Relieving constipation by making stools softer and easier to pass.

• Treating hepatic encephalopathy, a liver-related condition where toxins build up in the blood and affect the brain.

• Restoring regular bowel rhythm in patients with long-term digestive issues.

• Supporting patients who need to avoid straining during bowel movements (e.g., after surgery or with piles).

How Does Lactulose Solution Work?

• Lactulose is broken down by bacteria in the colon into mild acids.

• These acids draw water into the colon, which softens stools and makes them easier to pass.

• It also reduces harmful toxin absorption in the body, especially helpful for patients with liver problems.

Lactulose Syrup Dose for Adults

• The usual adult dose depends on the medical condition and doctor’s advice.

• For constipation: the initial dose is often 15–30 ml once or twice daily.

• For hepatic encephalopathy: higher doses may be prescribed to ensure 2–3 soft stools per day.

• Always follow your doctor’s exact instructions on how to take lactulose solution USP. 

Lactulose Syrup Dose for Children

For children, the lactulose syrup dose for child is usually lower and must be carefully prescribed by a pediatrician. The typical dose ranges from 5 to 10 ml per day, depending on the child's age and condition, divided into one or two doses. It is important to follow your doctor’s specific instructions to ensure safe and effective use of lactulose solution USP in children.

How to Take Lactulose Solution USP

• Take the syrup using a measuring cup or spoon.

• It can be taken with or without food.

• Drink a full glass of water after taking it to help the medicine work better.

• It may take 24–48 hours to show effect, so be patient.

• Do not stop suddenly without consulting your doctor.
