Laxatives should be used as infrequently as possible and for no more than seven days. Use for longer periods of time requires a doctor's prescription after adequate evaluation of the individual case.

Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Laxatives are contraindicated in subjects with acute abdominal pain or of unknown origin, nausea or vomiting, intestinal obstruction or stenosis, rectal bleeding of unknown origin, severe dehydration. Contraindicated in subjects with galactosemia.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies on the use of the drug in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Therefore, the medicine should be used only in case of need, under the direct supervision of the doctor, after evaluating the expected benefit to the mother in relation to the possible risk to the fetus or infant.

Composition
Laxatives can reduce the time spent in the intestine, and therefore the absorption, of other drugs administered simultaneously orally. Avoid ingesting laxatives and other drugs at the same time: after taking a medicine, leave an interval of at least 2 hours before taking the laxative. Laevolac can lead to increased toxicity of digitalis due to potassium depletion. Furthermore, a synergistic effect with neomycin is possible. Broad-spectrum antibacterial agents, administered orally at the same time as lactulose, can reduce its degradation by limiting the possibility of acidification of the intestinal contents and, consequently, the therapeutic efficacy.
