LACTOLERANCE will help you to clarify the compatibility of medication and food supplements in the case of lactose intolerance.<\/p>\n<h2>Medicines, lactose and lactase: information you need to know<\/h2>\n<p>Good news for those who are lactose intolerant: <strong>There are no drugs specifically incompatible with lactase supplementation.<\/strong> Because it is naturally produced in the intestine, the enzyme lactase is considered safe and well tolerated by the body, with no known side effects. Even in the event of an overdose, the body eliminates the excess lactase itself, without any health consequences.<\/p>\n<p>As with any new dietary habit, however, it is advisable to seek the advice of a health professional before starting oral lactase supplementation, particularly in cases of diabetes or pregnancy. Lactase-based food supplements are not recommended for people with galactosemia, a rare genetic disease.<\/p>\n<p>Note also that around 20% of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/blog\/en\/these-7-drugs-that-contain-lactose\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"2\">medicines contain lactose<\/a> as an excipient. In France, 100% contraceptive pills are also formulated with lactose, as are 100% homeopathic granules. Finally, in some cases, certain medical treatments can lead to temporary or even permanent lactose intolerance.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, supplementation with the enzyme lactase is particularly beneficial for people with lactose intolerance who need to take medication.<\/p>\n<h2>Our advice on taking medication safely for lactose intolerance<\/h2>\n<p>Although not incompatible, taking medicines and lactase-based food supplements do require a few precautions to help you combine health and well-being.<\/p>\n<p>If your intolerance is demonstrated by a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/blog\/en\/breath-hydrogen-test\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"3\">breath test<\/a> or a tolerance test <strong>(the two diagnostic methods covered by the French social security system)<\/strong>If you are suffering from lactose deficiency, you should first talk to your doctor about it, so that he or she can avoid prescribing you medicines containing lactose. You can also talk to your pharmacist to take even more precautions. They can set an alert on their computer to prescribe only lactose-free treatments when you visit the pharmacy.<\/p>\n<p>You can also contact a dietician for professional advice on your daily diet.<\/p>\n<p>Reduce or eliminate the digestive problems caused by your food intolerance in complete confidence thanks to oral supplementation with the enzyme lactase. Proven effective for over 30 years, this solution compensates for the absence of curative treatment by reactivating lactase production. These food supplements in capsule form can also be taken by children aged 3 and over, as long as the supplements are opened and the powder dissolved in a little water before the meal.<\/p>\n<p>LACTOLERANCE supplements are covered by most French supplementary health insurance companies on presentation of a prescription.<\/p>\n<p>Discover <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/fr\/5-lactolerance-4500\">LACTOLERANCE 4500<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/fr\/10-lactolerance-9000\">LACTOLERANCE 9000<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/fr\/35-lactolerance-ultra\">LACTOLERANCE ULTRA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/fr\/25-lactolerance-1day\">LACTOLERANCE 1\/DAY<\/a>The 4 different versions of our food supplements for <strong>improve lactose digestion, whatever your sensitivity.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/fr\/offres-speciales\/134-pack-decouverte-protection-24h.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1108 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-bas-de-page-FR-NOUVEAU-PACK-Decouverte.jpg\" alt=\"Image redirecting to the lactor\u00e9lance 1day pack and 9000 pill dispenser product sheet\" width=\"100%\" height=\"NaN\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-bas-de-page-FR-NOUVEAU-PACK-Decouverte.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-bas-de-page-FR-NOUVEAU-PACK-Decouverte-400x133.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-bas-de-page-FR-NOUVEAU-PACK-Decouverte-800x267.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-bas-de-page-FR-NOUVEAU-PACK-Decouverte-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-bas-de-page-FR-NOUVEAU-PACK-Decouverte-1536x512.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-bas-de-page-FR-NOUVEAU-PACK-Decouverte-2048x683.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lactolerance.fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Blog-bas-de-page-FR-NOUVEAU-PACK-Decouverte-18x6.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; For people with lactose intolerance, consuming lactase-based food supplements is the best way to compensate for the lack of this enzyme in the body and regain a good quality of life on a daily basis.
