The loose stools produced by treatment with methylcellulose may make it difficult to know when you have achieved an adequate dosage of lactulose. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:GENERALLY AVOID: In the treatment of portal-systemic encephalopathy, the loose stools produced by concomitant use of other laxatives may falsely suggest that adequate lactulose dosage has been achieved.
MANAGEMENT: The use of other laxatives should generally be avoided when lactulose is prescribed for portal-systemic encephalopathy, especially during the initial phase of therapy.
