User Reviews for Generlac oral

This has not worked well for me at all. I have experienced bloating and stomach pain with little to no relief.

My 6 month old was prescribed this due to constipation when starting solids. She has also been having issues with severe reflux. She takes 2.5ml every other night when she is going "regularly" or every night, if not. It has been 5 days since her last good dirty diaper. If and when she does go, it is small hard pieces and she screams afterwards. She isn't sleeping right now because when I put her down, it is hurting her belly. Her stomach is as tight as a drum and almost makes her look like a starving 3rd world child with a distended abdomen. She is severely gassy and her stomach makes all kinds of awful noises. Since being on this medicine, her reflux has gotten worse (I think because she is unable to empty her intestines.) I am waiting on the Pediatric GI to call me back now.Read More Read Less

Doctor prescribed Generlac. This drug is basically a hyper osmotic LAXATIVE. After 2 doses,last night

gas stomach ache going to bathroom to much was given this for bowel leackage it helped to an extent. if you ever missed a dose watch out you would be up all night.

2 tbsp. 4X daily for high ammonia levels which caused disorientation, confusion. Don't know how much longer I have to take this drug but have been on it since 1/2012. Blood work-up results did not contain ammonia level numbers because my Dr. says the lab results are inaccurate when submitted by Dr's. office so how can I accurately say how "effective" Lactulose is or rate the "satisfaction" regarding it? "Ease of Use"? Drug must be poured into medicine measuring cup 4X a day every 4 hrs. Bowel movements about the same- 4x a day. One Dr. said must take this med until my ammonia levels are in acceptable range. How is this blood ammonia level supposed to be monitored if the lab says blood work submitted by my physician in his office are unreliable?Read More Read Less

I began using this in early March and just decided to stop. It gave me terrible gas, kept me bloated, and only worked occasionally. I'll stick to my fiber-filled food, thank you...

I take a combination of morphine, ms-contin, oxycodone plus a deurogesic patch for going on 20 year now. i take 1 tablespoon and in 24 hours or less it works. i've only taken it for a month but prior to this it was a nightmare I never went without serious struggling and various laxitive combinations. This is wonderful and I can eat now.

my mom who is 87 began to have shortness of breath and weakness in the legs and arms.... she is taking it for lowering her ammonium levels which are 128 and lowered to 77 and then 66 but still needs to go to 32...

Started 3 weeks ago. Titrated from one teaspoonful--as directed to start--now at 3 tablespoons. Have been constipated since I started on it. Tomorrow is day 4. Calling doctor AGAIN. This stuff is killing me! Stomach feels like a washer/dryer within 1/2 hour after ingestion. I would take heed of the M.D. who commented before me on it's ineffectiveness. WATCH OUT!!!!!

i have been on heavey dosages of "morphine", "m.s.contin",ECT for almost #20 years now,and have delt with trying everything and anything since then, i dont no when this stuff came out but it has been a "LIFE-SAVER" it has it's up's and downs, but i go #98% of the time when i use this med... i just take #2 table spoons and drink #8 oz or more of water with it, and TRY AND WALK AROUND ALITTLE BIT and it really works fast...(only wish they had a nitetime cap,so i could take before i go to sleep at nite,other than that it WORKS GREATRead More Read Less

creates a large amount of gas and distended stomac and intestines. you will have several bowel movements per dose. they will be quick and large. medication has helped remove ammonia from my brain.

Drug used orally on day1 and day 3. Dose 15 mg each time. Especially on day 3,onset in 4 hrs. of sharp, strong abdominal cramps; quite painful. Would not use again. I am an MD with chronic constipation due to repeated bouts of diverticulitis
