A member asked:
How many hours apart should lactulose 15ml be taking i'm taking 30ml a day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends why taking: If lactulose is being used to soften stool or lower ammonia level, then twice daily (near breakfast and near dinner) would minimize diarrhea risk. Single doses can be up to 90-120ml, so dose size not a concern.
