Polyethylene glycol is Polyethylene Glycol 4000 Bulk and Lactulose is Lactulose Oral Liquid. Taking Polyethylene Glycol 4000 Bulk and Lactulose Oral Liquid at the same time is usually not recommended, as it may cause severe diarrhea.
Both PEG 4000 and Lactulose Oral Liquid are osmotic laxatives, which allow water to be retained in the intestinal tract, thereby increasing the water content of the stools, softening the stools and promoting defecation, thereby improving constipation.
As both drugs are osmotic laxatives, simultaneous administration may result in excessive diarrhea-inducing effects, causing severe diarrhea.
