Duphalac Syr 300Ml

Duphalac Syr 300Ml is a medication used to treat constipation. It belongs to the category of laxatives, working by increasing the water content in the intestines, which facilitates the process of excretion. It is commonly used in cases of chronic constipation or constipation resulting from certain medications.

Duphalac contains the active ingredient lactulose, which works by fermenting in the intestines to form short-chain fatty acids, increasing the water content in the stool and making excretion easier. This effect helps relieve constipation and improve bowel movement. It is also used in some cases to treat hepatic encephalopathy, as it helps reduce ammonia levels in the blood.
