Patient's question:
Due to threatened miscarriage, my wife is in the hospital for bed rest and is now seven months pregnant. In the past few days, she has been constipated, unable to digest properly, and experiencing bloating, which is very uncomfortable. She asked the doctor and was told to go to an outside pharmacy to buy Dumik. Since the hospital doctor wasn't available, a nurse called to ask. Moreover, many doctors are extremely busy with childbirth, and often when problems are reported, they are not followed up on. Now, she is particularly worried and helpless at this hospital. She wants to ask the doctors here: can her wife take Dumik in this condition? Does it have side effects?Doctor's answer:
Du, also known as lactulose oral solution, is primarily used clinically to treat conditions such as hepatic encephalopathy and constipation. It is generally not recommended for individuals with galactosemia, intestinal obstruction, or allergies to any components of this product. However, it has little impact on the growth and development of the fetus. If constipation or other medical conditions require its use, it can still be taken without concern.
