Note on prescription please issue Lactulose (think it's a typo & should be lactose) on next repeat

That is odd isn't it.
Lactolase is what you can take if you are lactose intolerant and might run into some dairy...
I googled lactulose - thats a laxative 🙈
I don't think you want either, surely you need Levo that INCLUDES lactose then? So not Teva and not Aristo. Something like Accord etc. 🌱

I think that they probably intended it to mean "NOT lactose-free".
But even that is possibly not helpful as it would exclude Aristo (which doesn't contain mannitol like Teva, but nor does it contain lactose).
As Regenallotment says, that is a laxative. See here:
I did have an email saying that it has now been removed from my repeat prescription but no explanation as to why or how it got on there
Not what you're looking for?
