Relevance: 03.08.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

If you are using lactulose for the treatment of a condition known as portal-systemic encephalopathy, you should talk to your doctor before using it with polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes. The loose stools produced by treatment with polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes 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.
