Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide in solution form for oral administration. Each 15 mL of Lactulose solution contains 10 g Lactulose (and less than 1.6 g galactose, less than 1.2 g lactose, and 1.2 g or less of other sugars). In addition, each 15 mL contains the following inactive ingredients: FD&C Blue No. 1, FD&C Yellow No. 6, sodium hydroxide (to adjust pH between 5 and 7) and water.
1 Tablespoon (15ml) contains 15 calories. Therefore 30ml will contain 30 calories.
