HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lactase Enzyme by Puritan's Pride
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
Puritan's Pride Lactase Enzyme contains one active ingredient: lactase enzyme, an enzyme that breaks down lactose (the sugar in milk and dairy products) so your body can digest it more easily. The inactive ingredients are soybean oil, maltodextrin, gelatin, glycerin, soy lecithin, turmeric extract, and yellow beeswax — these are fillers, binders, and capsule materials that hold the enzyme stable.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Lactase enzyme is rated effective for lactose intolerance — the condition where your body has trouble digesting dairy because it doesn't make enough of this enzyme naturally. For prematurity and colic, the evidence isn't established enough to rate it either way.
If you're taking this to manage lactose intolerance, the data supports its use.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lactase enzyme is generally well tolerated when used as directed. A rare case of contact dermatitis and allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (itchy, inflamed nose and eyes) has been reported in a worker exposed to powdered lactase — an occupational exposure scenario — so if you've ever had an allergic reaction to lactase itself, steer clear.
For pregnancy and breastfeeding, the safety data rates it likely safe, though the notes advise checking with your doctor before regular use during pregnancy and asking your doctor or pharmacist first if you're nursing, since the data is limited.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the lactase enzyme in this product. That said, confirm it with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting, especially if you take medications regularly.
The bottom line

Lactase Enzyme by Puritan's Pride is straightforward for lactose intolerance. If you're pregnant, nursing, or take medications regularly, a quick conversation with your doctor or pharmacist before you start is a good idea.
