Lactase-enzyme medication
These medicinal products aim to replace the deficiency in lactase production and so allow consumption of normal lactose-containing dairy products. Their cost may offset their benefit compared to using lactose-free products in ones own home, but they give dietary freedom when eating out.

Most commonly these are packaged in tablet form allowing a person to tolerate milk products for about 30-45 minutes after taking a pill. In addition solutions of lactase enzyme can be obtained; a few drops being added to a bottle of normal milk to cleave the contained lactose

Lactose intolerance is the condition in which lactase, an enzyme needed for proper metabolization of lactose (a constituent of milk and other dairy products), is not produced in adulthood. A lactose tolerance test, a hydrogen breath test, or a stool acidity test is required for a clinical diagnosis [1]. With lactose intolerance, the result of consuming too much lactose is excess gas production and often diarrhea. Lactose-intolerant adults can drink about 250 ml (8 oz) of milk per day without severe symptoms (McGee 2004) (Swagerty et al. 2002). Most adults in the world are lactose-intolerant: the majority of humans stop producing significant amounts of lactase sometime between the ages of two and five. A relatively recent genetic change caused some populations, including many northern Europeans, to continue producing lactase into adulthood; these lactose-tolerant populations are in the minority. Lactose intolerance is an autosomal recessive trait, while lactase-persistence is the dominant allele. Lactose intolerance is not contagious.
