Lactulose should be taken under the guidance of a qualified physician to treat constipation; blind use of the medication is not recommended, as it may affect physical health. Lactulose is primarily used for habitual and chronic constipation, helping regulate the physiological rhythm of the colon. However, during treatment with this drug, some patients may experience bloating; therefore, cautious use under professional medical supervision is advised.
