Lactulose Pharmacology

from Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals

Lactulose is an osmotic laxative but it is rarely used for this purpose. I discuss lactulose pharmacology in this episode. Elevated ammonia levels are an issue in hepatic encephalopathy. Lactulose can help manage this issue. Lactulose is dosed to 2-3 soft stools per day when used to reduce ammonia levels. Lactulose can increase the effect of warfarin and raise INR; I discuss this further on this episode. Be sure to check out our free Top 200 study guide – a 31 page PDF that is yours for FREE!
