Duphalac Bulk Oral Solution Gluten Free Lemon is a laxative commonly used to treat constipation and manage symptoms associated with liver-related conditions like hepatic encephalopathy. It works by drawing water into the intestines, softening the stool and promoting regular bowel movements. In cases of hepatic encephalopathy, it also helps reduce high ammonia levels in the blood, improving brain function and reducing confusion or disorientation.
This solution can be taken with or without food, as directed by your doctor. For best results, it should be taken at the same time each day. It may take up to 48 hours to show its full effect. Avoid taking more than the prescribed dose. If a dose is missed, simply continue with your next scheduled dose—do not take a double dose.
The most commonly reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, gas, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. These effects are typically mild and temporary. However, if they persist or worsen, you should contact your healthcare provider.
Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have diabetes, or are lactose intolerant. Prolonged use may require occasional blood tests to monitor mineral levels such as sodium and potassium. Avoid combining this medicine with other laxatives unless advised by your doctor.
This oral solution is generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does not affect your ability to drive and is typically safe for individuals with kidney or liver issues, though it’s always best to consult your doctor if you have any existing health conditions.
If you forget to take a dose, skip it and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.
