Brief Answer:
lactulose is safe and recommended
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I think your doctor has rightly changed the medicine to lactulose.
Lactulose is safe and can be given no problem.
Laxopeg and cremaffin are more powerful and should be used only for a short period.
The thyroid reports for his age and vitamin d levels are normal.
No need to worry.
These are usually done in any child with prolonged constipation.
Continue lactulose as advised. Follow up regularly with Your pediatrician.
Wishing your child good health
Regards Dr Arun
