Constipation<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When\u00a0lactulose is broken down\u00a0in the intestine, acids are formed.\u00a0The acids bind water and increase the volume of the intestine.\u00a0In this way, the bowel movements are normalized and constipation is counteracted.\u00a0At normal\u00a0doses,\u00a0lactulose\u00a0does not affect\u00a0blood sugar and can therefore be used by diabetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Severe liver disease<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ammonia is considered an important trigger for changes in the central nervous system in liver disease. The beneficial effect of lactulose in liver disease is probably due to an increase in acidic substances in the colon, which means that elevated ammonia levels in the blood are reduced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Talk to your doctor before using\u00a0Lactulose\u00a0Meda:<\/p>\n\n\n\n – if you have a stomach ache for an unknown reason<\/p>\n\n\n\n Children<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment of children should only be done according to a doctor’s prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not known whether Lactulos Meda affects or is affected by other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lactulose\u00a0Meda can be used during pregnancy and lactation.
