Both have the same ingredients but Clonazepam-R has four times more filler.

Lactulose

Is pms-Lactulose contraindicated in patients with lactose allergy?

Pms-Lactulose contains 80 mg of lactose/mL (1.2-2.4 g per 15-30 mL). Lactose is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to lactose or milk or those who are affected with the fructose/galactose malabsorption syndrome. Gastro-intestinal symptoms in most lactose-intolerant patients are not induced when small lactose amounts (0.5-7.0 g) are ingested (either from food or medication). Administering lactase (DairyAid®, Lactaid®, Lactrase®) to lactose-intolerant individuals can increase their tolerance to lactose.
