Im lactose intolerant and dreading taking my letrazole tablets.
I’ve ordered a couple of tubs of Milkaid lactase enzyme tablets and hope these prevent the endless vomiting and severe pain that I’ve experienced previously with cow’s dairy. Has any one else tried this and was it effective?
many thanks
Hi Cest Moi
I became lactose intolerant after my cancer treatment. I take Milkaid tablets and have found them helpful. I try to have lactose free dairy but where I can not avoid it or am unsure of the amounts I would take a tablet around 30 mins before it. I still sometimes have some nausea but do not get the pain and cramps/diarrhoea.
I don't however know how they would work with letrazole and whether there is any possibility of any interaction so best to check with your CNS.
