Duphalac Lemon Flavour Oral Solution 450ml is a gentle osmotic laxative formulated to support regular bowel movements in people dealing with constipation. It contains lactulose, a synthetic sugar that works by drawing water into the intestine, softening stools, and making them easier to pass. This action helps reduce discomfort, bloating, and straining. Its pleasant lemon flavour makes it more acceptable for both adults and children compared to traditional formulations.
Duphalac is especially useful for individuals who require safe and gradual relief from constipation, including the elderly, post-surgical patients, people with piles (haemorrhoids), and children under medical supervision. It may also be prescribed in certain liver-related conditions where reducing toxins in the body is important. The syrup can be taken directly or mixed with water, juice, or milk, and should be consumed at the same time each day for the best results. It generally works within 24–48 hours, making it suitable for routine and long-term use under medical advice.
When taking Duphalac, it is important to follow the prescribed dose carefully. Overuse may lead to bloating, cramps, or diarrhea. Patients should drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to enhance its effectiveness. Those with diabetes, lactose intolerance, or existing bowel obstruction should use it only under medical guidance. It should be stored in a cool, dry place and not frozen.
Duphalac is usually considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding when recommended by a doctor, as it acts locally in the gut and is not absorbed into the bloodstream in significant amounts. Common side effects may include mild gas, abdominal discomfort, or loose stools, which often improve as the body adjusts. If symptoms persist or become severe, medical advice should be sought promptly.
