Overview Duphalac Oral Solution

Lactulose oral solution, a type of sugar, effectively manages constipation by acting as a laxative, softening stool through increased bowel water content. It's also indicated for hepatic encephalopathy, a liver disorder characterized by cognitive impairment, tremors, and altered consciousness. This solution may be administered with or without food, always as directed by your physician. For optimal results, maintain consistent daily dosing. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on efficacy. Never exceed the prescribed amount; missed doses should not be doubled. Expect a therapeutic effect within 48 hours. Consult your doctor if constipation persists beyond three days. Common, typically transient, side effects include nausea and vomiting. Severe diarrhea and electrolyte imbalances are less frequent but require immediate medical attention. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any pre-existing diabetes or lactose intolerance. Prolonged use may necessitate periodic blood tests to monitor electrolyte levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Avoid concurrent use of other laxatives, and consult your doctor regarding pregnancy or breastfeeding.
