Description

Product Description

Duphalac Oral Solution Lemon is a widely prescribed laxative containing Lactulose (3.335gm/5ml). It is mainly used for the treatment of chronic constipation by making stools softer and easier to pass. Lactulose works by drawing water into the bowel, which improves stool consistency and regularity. It is also sometimes prescribed to manage hepatic encephalopathy, a liver-related complication.

This oral solution is gentle on the stomach, suitable for long-term use under medical supervision, and is available in a lemon flavor for better taste.
