Frequently asked questions
Kristalose is a brand-name form of lactulose, a synthetic disaccharide that functions as an osmotic laxative. After ingestion, lactulose is not absorbed in the small intestine. It passes to the colon where bacteria break it down into acids that draw water into the bowel, softening stool and stimulating a bowel movement, typically within 24 to 48 hours.
Kristalose comes as a crystalline powder that is dissolved in 4 ounces of water or juice before drinking. Your physician will prescribe the appropriate dose based on your symptoms and response to treatment. It is usually taken once daily, and you should drink adequate fluids throughout the day to support its effectiveness.
Most patients experience a bowel movement within 24 to 48 hours after taking their first dose of Kristalose. If you do not see results within 48 hours, contact your prescribing physician before adjusting your dose.
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal and include bloating, gas, stomach cramps, and nausea, especially during the first few days of use. These effects often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Diarrhea can occur if the dose is too high. Contact your physician if side effects are severe or persistent.
Kristalose should not be used by people who are on a low-galactose diet, as lactulose contains galactose and lactose. It should be used with caution in patients with diabetes due to its sugar content. Always inform your physician about all medical conditions and medications before starting Kristalose.
Kristalose can be used for ongoing management of chronic constipation under physician supervision. Your doctor may periodically reassess your need for the medication and adjust the dose as needed. Long-term use typically requires monitoring of electrolyte levels, especially in elderly patients or those on other medications affecting electrolytes.
