| | Data Sheet |
| | Lactulose is an effective alternative to neomycin particularly in patients with hearing problems or renal disease or when long-term use is anticipated. | | | The clinical response has been observed in 75% of patients which is at least as satisfactory as that resulting from neomycin therapy, with the added benefit that an increase in the patient's protein tolerance is frequently observed with lactulose therapy. | | | Although this complication has not been reported with lactulose, patients on lactulose therapy undergoing such procedures should have a thorough bowel cleansing with nonfermentable solution. |

| | There is no disaccharidase in the microvillus membrane of small intestine enterocytes that can hydrolyze lactulose; nor is the disaccharide absorbed from the small intestine. | | | Those with lactose intolerance should exercise caution in the use of lactulose. | | | This could be beneficial in preventing osteoporosis and osteopenia. |

| | Lactulose ingestion increases faecal bifidobacterial counts: A randomised double-blind study in healthy humans |
| | Lactulose is not metabolised or absorbed in the human small intestine. | | | Experimental studies in rat have shown that feeding of lactulose and Bifidobacterium longum singly and in combination had an additive antitumorigenic effect in the rat colon (Challa et al, 1997; Singh et al, 1997). | | | Using similar experimental conditions as ours, Tuohy et al (2002) showed that faecal water genotoxicity, a putative marker of colon carcinogenesis, was not reduced with lactulose ingestion as compared to the placebo and to the pretreatment samples. |

| | Under the present experimental conditions, the lactulose peak is present at a retention time of 15.1 min. | | | Hence, the development of a robust, direct, and highly sensitive method for the analysis of lactulose in milk samples would be very useful and desirable. | | | the IDF has suggested a liquid-chromatographic method in which lactulose is analyzed on low-efficient ligand-exchange columns, in the lead form, and quantified by refractometric detection. |
