Duphalac Syrup 150ml is an oral solution formulated to provide relief from constipation and to help manage hepatic encephalopathy, a liver condition that can affect brain function. This laxative contains the active ingredient Lactulose 3.335gm/5ml, which works by increasing bowel movements and softening stools.
Lactulose, an artificial sugar, functions by drawing water into the large intestine. This process softens hard stools, making them easier to pass and effectively relieving constipation. Additionally, Duphalac Syrup 150ml can help reduce elevated ammonia levels in the blood, which is beneficial for individuals with liver disease managing hepatic encephalopathy.
Always use Duphalac Syrup 150ml exactly as advised by your doctor. Do not take this medicine if you have galactosaemia (a rare genetic disorder), a blockage in your intestines (other than normal constipation), gastrointestinal perforation or a risk of perforation, or if you have intolerance to galactose or fructose, total lactase deficiency, or glucose-galactose malabsorption.
Before taking Duphalac Syrup 150ml, inform your doctor if you experience unexplained abdominal pain, are lactose intolerant (unable to digest milk sugar), or have diabetes. Use of Duphalac Syrup 150ml in infants and young children should only be under specific medical advice and supervision.
Uses:
- Relief from constipation (difficulty in passing stools)
