Product Summary :

Duphalac Oral Solution Lemon is an osmotic laxative used to treat constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. It works by reaching the colon unchanged, where it is broken down into acids that draw water into the bowel, soften stools, and promote bowel movements. In hepatic encephalopathy, it also reduces the absorption of ammonia from the gut, helping lower blood ammonia levels and improve brain function. Common side effects of Duphalac Oral Solution Lemon include diarrhea, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Use with caution in patients with diabetes or those at risk of electrolyte imbalance, and avoid it in individuals with galactose intolerance or intestinal obstruction.

Your doctor may adjust the dose depending on how well it is working. Do not take more than or longer than the advised duration. This medicine takes at least 48 hours to work. Talk to your doctor if you are still constipated after 3 days.

Occasionally, people develop serious side effects, including severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalance. Talk to your doctor straight away if you notice any of these.

Duphalac Oral Solution Lemon helps remove these toxins, especially ammonia, through bowel movements. This helps improve mental clarity, reduces confusion, and supports better liver health and overall well-being.
