Hello;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
Lactilose is a locally acting medicine and has its effect on the intestines and there is hardly any chance of interaction with other medicines or even marijuana for that matter.Although it is not necessary to say that marijuana is harmful to health but since he has found a way to relieve his pain without the use of painkiller and he has terminal illness I personally will not comment on that.Lets just hope and pray for the best.
Thanks
