Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Duphalac is primarily used to treat constipation by softening stools and stimulating bowel movements. It is also prescribed for managing conditions like hepatic encephalopathy, where it helps reduce ammonia levels in the blood. Lactulose works by drawing water into the intestines, making it easier to pass stools. This medication is often recommended for both short-term relief and long-term management of chronic constipation.

Side Effects

  • Common effects of Duphalac include bloating, gas, and stomach cramps, especially when first starting the treatment. These side effects usually subside as the body adjusts to the medication. In some cases, diarrhea may occur if the dosage is too high. It is important to follow the prescribed instructions to minimize these effects.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Duphalac should be used with caution in individuals with diabetes, as it contains galactose and lactose, which may affect blood sugar levels. Patients with a history of bowel obstruction or severe abdominal pain should consult a healthcare provider before use. Always follow the recommended dosage to avoid potential side effects.

Avoid Interactions

  • Duphalac may interact with certain medications, including antibiotics and other laxatives. It is advisable to consult a healthcare provider before combining Duphalac with other treatments. Additionally, alcohol consumption should be limited, as it may exacerbate side effects like bloating and diarrhea.
