Duphalac Lemon Flavour Solution 450ml

Duphalac Oral solution is used for the following:

• Managing chronic constipation: This medicine works by increasing the water content in your stool, making it softer and easier to pass.

• Controlling hepatic encephalopathy: This condition affects people with severe liver disease, causing symptoms such as confusion and tremors. Duphalac Oral solution helps to reduce harmful levels of ammonia in the blood, which can impact brain function.

Take Duphalac Oral solution as follows:

• Measure the precise dose using a medicinal spoon or cup.

• Every dose should be taken along with a full glass of water or fruit juice.

• It's best to take this medicine near mealtimes to reduce potential side effects such as nausea and diarrhoea.

• Remember, it might take 24-48 hours for the full effect to kick in.

• As always, consult your doctor for specific advice related to your health condition.

Duphalac Oral solution is taken orally.

Duphalac Oral solution contains lactulose (10000 mg), which works on your body as follows:

• Osmotic Effect: Lactulose retains water in the colon via osmosis. This increases the water content of stools and makes them softer allowing for easier passage.

• pH Effect: The metabolism of lactulose in your body lowers the pH in your colon. This helps to trap ammonia (NH3) – a harmful substance when present in high levels – as non-absorbable ammonium (NH4+), reducing systemic ammonia levels especially in cases of hepatic encephalopathy.

• Keep Duphalac Oral solution stored at a temperature.

• Don't let it freeze or be subject to excessive heat.

• Keep the bottle away from direct light, air, and moisture.

• Remember to keep it out of reach of children.

• If you're managing constipation with Duphalac Oral solution, increase your intake of fibre-rich foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. This would help soften your stool and promote healthy bowel movements.

• For those using this medicine for hepatic encephalopathy, avoid alcohol as it can worsen liver disease and increase ammonia levels in your body. Stick to a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins to support your liver health.
