Patient's question:
I am a diabetic, and I pay close attention to my diet. However, I often experience constipation. Recently, I bought Lactulose Oral Solution from a pharmacy. Can diabetics take Lactulose Oral Solution? Does this medication have any impact on diabetes? What else should I be mindful of now?Doctor's answer:
If diabetic patients are not allergic to this type of drug, they can take it orally normally. However, it should not be taken orally for a long time, as it may have significant side effects. Generally, when patients take this type of medication orally, they may experience discomfort again, such as abdominal pain. Please don't worry, as it usually disappears on its own within a few days. Additionally, if there is no effect after taking it for several days in a row, stop taking the medication and go to the hospital for a check-up.
