If memory searves me correctly, there is a toll free number listed on
the package/bottle of LACTAID (R) Ask your phamacist. I have lactose
non-persistance, but I happen to like the product DAIRY-EASE (R)
tablets. I don't think that there is much difference between brands.
I do like the chewable tablets (personal preference) that DAIRY-EASE (R) has,
as I can chew it faster. It does work for me. Note: If you
have any problems with sugar or galactose, see your M.D. first.
