Lactulose Solution
Product Images NDC 0116-4005

Lactose solution is a synthetic disaccharide used for oral administration that can promote water retention. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is capable of hydrolysis in the human digestive system. Lactulose is given orally to man and experimental animals with small amounts reaching the blood. Its molecular weight is 242.30 and it is soluble in water. Lactulose helps in regular bowel movements and is used to treat constipation. Elderly and debilitated patients who receive lactulose for more than six months should have serum electrolytes, potassium, chloride, and carbon dioxide levels measured periodically. Drug interactions should be considered, and there is no known evidence of long-term potential for carcinogenicity or mutagenicity.*

This text contains information about the usage of lactose solution during pregnancy, nursing mothers, and pediatric use along with its possible teratogenic effects. Adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, and adverse effects due to overdosage are also described. The text also indicates the recommended dosage and administration of lactose solution and its supply. However, due to the poor quality of , some parts of the text are not readable.*

Lactulose Solution, USP is an oral medication used to treat constipation. It is a synthetic cisaccharide in a solution form, containing 10 g lactulose per 15 ml, and promotes laxation while being poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Lactulose solution is essentially safe to use, but it should be used with caution in diabetics as it contains galactose and lactose. Patients who require a low galactose diet should refrain from using lactulose solution. Also, elderly, debilitated patients receiving lactulose treatment for more than six months should have periodic serum electrolyte measurements. There have been no reports of accidental overdosing of lactulose. Initial dosing may cause intestinal cramps and flatulence, but they are usually transient. If excessive dosage occurs, diarrhea with potential complications may arise, such as loss of fluids, hypokalemia, and hypematremia. Anyone that experiences any unusual symptoms should immediately inform their physician.*

Lactulose is an oral medication used for treating constipation by promoting laxation. It is a synthetic disaccharide with a chemical formula of 4-0-B-D-galactopyranosyl-D-fructfuranose. Lactulose is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and no enzyme capable of hydrolysis of this disaccharide is present in human gastrointestinal tissue. Lactulose reaches the colon virtually unchanged, where it is broken down primarily into lacti acid by the action of colonic bacteria, resulting in an increase in osmotic pressure and slight acidification of the colonic contents, which leads to an increase in stool water content and softens the stool. Lactulose is contraindicated for patients who require a low galactose diet. Lactulose soluion may cause an unusual darrheal condition; in such cases, it is recommended to contact a physician.*

Tactulose is a medication used to treat constipation. Although reproduction studies in animals have not shown any harm to the fetus or impaired fertility, there are currently no adequate retrospective studies in pregnant women. Lactulose solution passes into breast milk, and therefore, special caution must be taken when breastfeeding using this drug. Children are typically not given Tactulose, as it is not established as safe and effective for pediatric patients. Initial dosing may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, and overdosage can result in diarrhea and other potentially dangerous complications. Lactulose solution comes in a variety of container sizes and should be administered in tandem with the pharmacist's instructions — it is suggested to mix the solution with fruit juice, water, or milk.*

Lactulose Solution is a synthetic disaccharide in solution form that serves as a colonic acidifier and promotes laxation. Its chemical name is 4-0-B-D-galactopyranosy-D-fructofuranose. Lactulose contains 10 g lactulose (and less than 1.6 g galactose, less than 1.2 g lactose, and 1.2 or less than other sugars) in each 15 mL. This product is suitable for the treatment of constipation. The recommended dosage is 2 tablespoons (15-30 mL) per day. It may take 24-48 hours to produce a normal bowel movement. Lactulose solution may be mixed with juice, water or milk. The product should not be frozen or used beyond expiration. It may darken slightly, but therapeutic action is not affected.*

Lactulose Solution is a synthetic disaccharide in solution form for oral administration. Each 15 mL of lactulose contains 10 g lactulose and is intended for the treatment of constipation. Lactulose is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is broken down primarily into lactic acid, formic and acetic acids by the action of colonic bacteria, which results in an increase in stool water content and softens the stool. Precise frequency data are not available in terms of adverse reactions, and initial dosing may produce flatulence and intestinal cramps. Lactulose solution contains galactose less than 1.6 g/15 mL and lactase less than 1.2 g/1 5 mL, so it should be used with caution in diabetics.*

This is a product information sheet for Lactulose Solution, USP 10/15 mL, which is a colorless to yellow, unflavored solution, used for treating constipation. The usual dose is 1 to 2 tablespoonfuls daily, containing 10 g to 20 g of lactulose, which may be increased to 60 mL daily if required. The solution is available in bottles of various sizes or unit dose white cups. Lactulose solution may be mixed with fruit juice, milk, or water, to make it more acceptable. It contains lactulose 667 mg/mL (10/15 mL). The storage instructions, including the temperature range, are provided. A normal darkening of color is expected, but prolonged exposure to temperatures above 30°C or direct light may cause extreme darkening and turbidity, which is pharmaceutically objectionable. The solution should be dispensed in the original container or a tight, light-resistant container with a child-resistant closure. The product number (or NDC) must be included in the description when ordering the product. The sheet is last revised in October 2021 and distributed by Xtirium Laboratories, Inc.*

Each 15 mL of lactulose contains 10 g lactulose, and less than 1.6 g galactose, less than 1.2 g lactose, and 1.2 g or less of other sugars, along with water, D&C Yellow No. 10, and FD&C Yellow No. 6. It is a colonic acidifier which promotes laxation, but since transit time through the colon may be slow, 24 to 48 hours may be required to produce a normal bowel movement. The usual adult dosage is 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30 mL) daily, to be dispensed in the original container, or in a tight, light-resistant container with a child-resistant closure. It is advised to not use if extreme darkening or turbidity occurs. The structural formula for lactulose is also given.*
