Get Enulose Online

Enulose (lactulose) is prescribed for two main indications: chronic constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. In constipation, it draws water into the colon to soften stool and speed transit. In hepatic encephalopathy, it lowers blood ammonia levels by acidifying the colon and trapping ammonia so it can be excreted in stool.

For constipation, Enulose typically produces a bowel movement within 24 to 48 hours of the first dose. In hepatic encephalopathy, measurable reductions in blood ammonia levels may be seen within 24 hours, though the clinical response can vary based on severity.

The typical adult dose for constipation is 15 to 30 mL (10 to 20 g lactulose) once daily, adjusted as needed up to 60 mL per day. Your prescribing physician will determine the appropriate dose based on your response and any underlying conditions.

The most common side effects are gastrointestinal and include bloating, flatulence, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea, particularly at higher doses. These effects often improve as your body adjusts. Persistent diarrhea can lead to electrolyte imbalances, so contact your provider if it does not resolve.

Lactulose contains small amounts of galactose and lactose, which may affect blood sugar in people with diabetes. Patients with diabetes should inform their physician so that blood glucose can be monitored appropriately during treatment. Your doctor will weigh the benefits and risks before prescribing.

Neomycin and other anti-infectives that alter gut flora can reduce the effectiveness of lactulose for hepatic encephalopathy. Antacids may also interfere with the acidification of colonic contents that makes lactulose effective. Always tell your physician about all medications and supplements you are taking.
