Research progress of lactulose in combination with other drugs in bowel preparation
Lactulose oral solution,as an osmotic laxative,can be used alone or in combination with other agents for preoperative bowel preparation,achieving comparable or even superior results to compound polyethylene glycol powder used alone.It is noteworthy that traditional bowel preparation methods often fail to achieve optimal results in patients with risk factors for inadequate bowel preparation.However,the use of a lactulose combination regimen can significantly improve the quality of bowel preparation in such patients.This review summarizes the current research on lactulose combination regimens for bowel preparation and provides insights aimed at offering clinical references and guidance.
