How long should my dad (93) continue drinking Lactulose syrup after constipation has subsided?
The question concerns my Dad, 93 years old. For the last 2 weeks, after a urinary tract infection, he had severe constipation. Today he defecated on his own for the first time after 2 weeks. Previously, there were infusions in addition to syrup. He drank Lactulose 3 times a day, a tablespoon each. How long should he continue drinking the syrup.

Your dad can continue to take Lactulose syrup for a few days after constipation has subsided to ensure that bowel function is stabilized.
Lactulose can be used for a longer period of time, but it is worth gradually reducing the dose, especially if your bowel movements return to normal. The dosage should be tailored to his individual needs, and the goal is to achieve 2-3 soft stools per day. Usually, after the constipation subsides, the dose can be reduced to 15-30 ml per day, depending on the body's reaction. Without consulting a doctor, the preparation can be taken for 1-2 months. It is also important to monitor its hydration and fluid intake, which supports the proper functioning of the intestines.
