Is a generic version of Enulose available?
Yes. Enulose is a branded product containing the generic drug lactulose. Teva, the manufacturer, also markets a branded lactulose product called Constulose specifically for constipation. Another branded version is Kristalose from Cumberland Pharmaceuticals. Generic lactulose, which is chemically identical, is widely available and is often prescribed instead of the brand-name Enulose.
What is Enulose and how does it work?
Enulose is a prescription medication used to treat portal-systemic encephalopathy, a serious complication of liver disease where ammonia builds up in the blood and impairs brain function. By reducing blood ammonia levels, it helps manage symptoms in many patients. Its active ingredient, lactulose, is a synthetic sugar. It works by acidifying the colon, which draws ammonia from the bloodstream into the intestines where it is expelled. This osmotic action also draws water into the colon, which is why lactulose is frequently used off-label as a laxative for constipation. Enulose does not treat the underlying liver condition. It is taken as an oral solution, typically several times daily, and its effects usually take one to two days to become apparent. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for specific dosing instructions.
What are the potential side effects of taking Enulose?
Lactulose, the active ingredient in Enulose, is generally considered safe. Common side effects are typically gastrointestinal and may include diarrhea, gas, bloating, stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Serious allergic reactions are rare but can involve hives, itching, rash, or swelling. Because lactulose is chemically similar to lactose, individuals with lactose intolerance may be more prone to experiencing these side effects. This is not an exhaustive list of all possible side effects. Discuss any concerns with your doctor or pharmacist.
