Is it safe to use Duphalac laxative daily for two months to keep my stool soft while my underactive thyroid medication treats my constipation and helps heal a tear in my bottom?

Asked by Male, 34 · 9 days ago

Yes, it is generally safe to use Duphalac (lactulose) daily for two months under your doctor's guidance. Since lactulose is an osmotic laxative, it works by drawing water into your bowel to soften your stool, and it is not habit-forming. Keeping your stool soft is crucial to allow that painful tear to heal properly. As your thyroid medication begins to regulate your system, your natural bowel habits should gradually improve. Please keep your doctor updated on your progress to ensure you heal comfortably.
