For severe constipation in hospitalized patients who do not have bowel obstruction or stool impaction and who have not responded to routine oral laxatives, suppositories, or sodium phosphate enemas, try a lactulose enema. Mix 150 to 300 mL of lactulose with an equal volume of saline solution. This preparation is safe, and the response is usually immediate.
