What Experts Say

Doctors often recommend lactulose for chronic constipation. It is especially useful for older adults who cannot tolerate stronger laxatives. The medicine works by drawing water into the colon through osmosis. This added fluid softens hard stool and helps it move more easily through the bowel.

Gastroenterologists value lactulose for its long safety record. Unlike stimulant laxatives, it does not cause dependency with regular use. Pregnant women and elderly patients can often use it safely under medical guidance. Only a small amount of the medicine is absorbed into the bloodstream.

Specialists still advise against long term self medication without checking in with a doctor. Mild bloating and a sweet aftertaste are common during the first few days. People with diabetes should ask their doctor about the sugar content before starting. Sudden severe stomach pain needs prompt medical attention rather than continued home use.
