Cephulac (generically known as Lactulose) is a prescribed oral medication indicated to treat constipation and hepatic encephalopathy (a complication of liver disease). Lactulose is a synthetic sugar that works by drawing water into the colon, which softens the stool and makes it easier to pass.
Cephulac does not cure the problem, but may help to improve mental status. Lactulose is also a colonic acidifier that lowers elevated blood ammonia levels and reduces symptoms in patients with hepatic encephalopathy. It works by drawing ammonia from the blood into the colon where it is removed from the body.
Lactulose is available as a syrup to be taken orally. It is generally taken once a day for constipation and three to four times a day for liver disease.
Follow the directions carefully. If there are any parts of the directions that are unclear, ask your doctor or pharmacist for further clarification. To improve the taste, you can mix it into fruit juice, water, milk, or a soft dessert. The goal is to have 2-3 soft stools each day.
Lactulose should be taken exactly as directed, and do not take more or less than prescribed or to take it more frequently than recommended by your doctor.
