Duphalac Syrup 200ml
Medical Conditions - Stomach Care and Digestive healthDuphalac Solution contains Lactulose (3.335gm/5ml), a medication used to treat constipation and also to prevent and manage complications of liver disease, specifically hepatic encephalopathy. Lactulose works by osmosis, drawing water into the intestine and softening the stool, making it easier to pass. To use Duphalac Solution, carefully follow the directions on the label. It can be measured using a measuring cup and taken orally. Shake the solution well before use. You can take Duphalac Solution with or without food, but it is recommended to take it at the same time each day for consistency. Precautions to consider: Duphalac Solution is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy, lactation, and in individuals with liver and kidney conditions. Dehydration is a common side effect, so it's important to stay adequately hydrated while using this medication. Avoid using Duphalac Solution for more than one week unless specifically prescribed by your doctor, as prolonged use can lead to dependency on the laxative effect. It is essential to maintain a fiber-rich diet alongside Duphalac Solution, including whole grain bread, cereals, bran, fruits, and green leafy vegetables, to promote healthy bowel function. Taking Duphalac Solution at bedtime is preferred as it requires 6 to 8 hours to show its impact. If you are on a low-sugar diet, inform your doctor as Duphalac Solution contains sugars. Take Duphalac Solution at least 2 hours apart from other medications to avoid interference with their absorption.
