A member asked:
Is there anyone who can't take lactulose everyday for constipation? i have a heart condition. can it cause lactic acidosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You should be fine: Lactulose is a non-absorbable sugar, and it does not contain any lactic acid. You should be fine. It cannot cause lactic acidosis. Hope that helps.
