It's a high powered laxative. I adjusted the dosage downward from what was recommended. TBH what others took is irrelevant to the question of how your bowels will react to this substance. I believe I took half or less of the prescribed dosage because it made me run to the bathroom like my pants were on fire. Maybe your pants don't catch fire so easy. Try it as prescribed and adjust as needed.

Yes I’ll still talk to my doc about the dosage.

 

and I read that, too, about the US so I’m surprised, but given our backwards health care approaches maybe I’m not. I have Intestinal dysmotility and Gastroparesis and the drug comparisons of what’s in what country is so weird! We tend to have things a little more freely here.

That's why I am especially recommending you talk to a doctor - so he or she knows that you have those conditions and you aren't treating garden variety normal constipation issues. Also please note that lactulose takes around 48 hours to work and you should know this lest you dangerously swig a couple of power swallows when nothing happens. Think Leo DiCaprio in The Wolf Of Wall Street with his delayed reaction to Qualuudes, and then reacting to that by consuming a bunch more, with predictable (albeit comical) results in that film.
