Contraindications: hypersensitivity to lactulose or to any of the excipients, galactosemia, lactose intolerance, galactose-free diet, intestinal obstruction or suspected paralytic ileus.

If diarrhoea occurs, the dose should be reduced; if this measure is not effective, the medicine should be discontinued. This product contains galactose and tagatose. If you are diabetic, you should take this into account. If you have been told that you are intolerant to certain sugars, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
