Warnings

In patients who experience problems caused by excessive intestinal bloating, it is advisable to start treatment with the minimum recommended doses; These doses may be gradually increased according to the patient's response. If constipation is persistent, consult a doctor. Laxative abuse (frequent or prolonged use or excessive doses) can cause persistent diarrhea with consequent loss of water, mineral salts (especially potassium), and other essential nutrients. In more severe cases, dehydration or hypokalemia (decrease in blood potassium) may occur, which can lead to cardiac or neuromuscular dysfunction, especially in the case of concomitant treatment with cardiac glycosides, diuretics, or corticosteroids. Laxative abuse, especially contact laxatives (stimulant laxatives), can cause serious complications. cause dependence (and, therefore, the possible need to gradually increase the dosage), chronic constipation, and loss of normal intestinal function (intestinal atony). Precautions for use In children under 12 years of age, the medicine should be used only after consulting a doctor. It should be taken into account that the bowel movement reflex may be altered during treatment. The treatment of chronic or recurrent constipation always requires medical intervention for diagnosis, prescription of medications, and monitoring during therapy. Consult your doctor when the need for a laxative arises from a sudden change in previous bowel habits (frequency and characteristics of bowel movements) that lasts more than two weeks, or when the use of the laxative fails to produce effects. Patients undergoing digitalis therapy should consult their doctor before starting therapy. Lactulose is absorbed to a very small extent and has no caloric value. However, in addition to lactulose, Lactulose Abc also contains galactose, lactose, and small amounts of other sugars. This should be taken into account when treating diabetic patients and patients on low-calorie diets. Diabetic patients should consult their doctor. Elderly or otherwise unhealthy patients should consult their doctor before using this medicine. Lactulose should be administered with caution to lactose-intolerant patients. Patients with rare hereditary problems of galactose intolerance, the Lapp lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption should not take this medicine.
