Can you drink lactulose for constipation while breastfeeding?

You can drink lactulose to relieve the symptoms of constipation during breastfeeding as prescribed by your doctor.
Lactulose increases the volume of feces in the intestines. It stimulates peristalsis in the colon to keep the bowels open and relieve constipation while restoring the physiological rhythm of the colon. Since lactulose has no side effects on the mother or baby, you can drink lactulose as prescribed by your doctor if you are constipated during breastfeeding.
However, it is recommended not to use it for a long period of time, as prolonged use of Lactulose may cause dependence and is not conducive to voluntary bowel movements.
Bloating may occur in the initial days of treatment and usually disappears with continued treatment. Galactosemia, intestinal obstruction, acute abdominal pain, as well as hypersensitivity to lactulose and its components are prohibited. This drug should not be combined with other diarrhea-inducing drugs at the same time.
