Lactulose 670mg/ml (Sodium benzonate as preservative 0.1%)

1) Lactulose contains galactose and lactose, it should be used with caution in diabetics.

2) Since Lactulose contains lactose (<1.2g / 15ml) it should be used with caution in patients with lactose intolerance. 3) Use in pregnancy and lactation: Reproduction studies in rats and teratologic experiments in both mice and rats did not reveal significant effects on conception, gestation, litter size, or incidence of malformations. However, the use of lactulose during pregnancy requires that the potential benefits be weighed against the potential risks. It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when it is administered to a nursing woman.
