The most common side effects of this medicine include stomach pain, abdominal bloating, and diarrhea. If these bother you or do not go away, let your doctor know. There may be ways of preventing or reducing these effects.

Lactase contains an enzyme that is taken from pig glands so you should avoid this medicine if you are allergic to pork.
