Why this happens
Lactulose is a laxative that stays in the bowel and is not absorbed into the bloodstream. Ropinirole is absorbed into the blood to treat Parkinson's disease or Restless Legs Syndrome. Because they work in different parts of the body and are processed through different pathways, they do not interfere with each other.
