Is lactulose helpful in advance stage liver cancer patients for removing toxicity from blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Useful in liver fail: Lactulose like you have suggested, is commonly used for the treatment of chronic liver failure due to cirrhosis. In your case, liver cancer has complicated this matter by adding another complication. So the value of Lactulose will be limited and questionable. yet it is relatively harmless especially if you have problem with constipation.
