Duphalac Oral Solution Lemon (450ML)

Product Introduction

Duphalac Oral Solution Lemon is a gentle and effective laxative used to relieve constipation by softening the stool and improving bowel movement. It contains Lactulose, a synthetic sugar that works by drawing water into the intestine, making stools easier to pass naturally. In addition to constipation, Duphalac is also used in the management of hepatic encephalopathy, a liver-related disorder that causes confusion, tremors, and altered consciousness due to toxin buildup in the body.

This syrup can be taken with or without food, exactly as prescribed by your doctor. For the best results, take it at the same time each day and avoid skipping doses. It may take up to 48 hours to show its full effect. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond 3 days.
