Details Below:
Lactulose is a semi-synthetic disaccharide that can be safely used on a longterm basis in elderly patients to maintain regular bowel evacuation, especially
in patients with limited mobility. The initial adult dose of lactulose is 15 ml
twice daily and this may be adjusted according to the individual’s needs.
Therefore 20 ml daily dose is an acceptable dosage regimen.
