CEPHULAC Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What is CEPHULAC?
CEPHULAC is the brand name for lactulose and is available as an oral solution.
What dosages is CEPHULAC available in?
CEPHULAC is available as a 10 g/15 ml oral solution.
What is CEPHULAC used for?
CEPHULAC is an osmotic laxative that is used to treat constipation and for the prevention and treatment of brain-related complications from liver problems (hepatic encephalopathy).
How does CEPHULAC work?
CEPHULAC is an osmotic laxative. It eases constipation by drawing more fluid into the gut. This helps soften the stool and makes it easier to pass. People with liver problems can have high ammonia levels. A build-up of ammonia in the body can lead to brain-related problems, such as confusion or sleepiness. CEPHULAC can help treat hepatic encephalopathy by lowering the amount of ammonia in your gut.
How do I take CEPHULAC?
CEPHULAC is typically by mouth taken by mouth 3 to 4 times daily.
Is it safe for me to take CEPHULAC?
CEPHULAC is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you require a low galactose diet.
