Yes you can, its perfectly safe, but you will need to read the instructions and work out how many times a day you need it. The minimum is 3 spoonfuls a day but i only need to take 2. Was recommended by my doctor to help heal a pile i had and keep my stool soft. It works very well, but takes 24-48 hours before it kicks into your system. once it does you should keep up the routine. also drink plenty of water with it. hope this helps

∙ 13y agoYou can work and take lactulose. The flatulence can be a problem until you adjust to the medication. It's just a matter of learning to withhold it until you have a bowel movement. Just be sure that you have access to toilet facilities during the day.

∙ 11y agoYes, you can. The minimum adult dosage is 1 tablespoon. Work up from that by increasing the dosage 1 teaspoon at a time every three days. You'll eventually get to a point where a daily bowel movement is impossible to ignore. Keep at this dosage and increase it by a teaspoon or so if required over time. Most people take 2 - 4 tablespoons. Some people take more. Lactulose is very safe.
