Product Description
DUPHALAC BULK is a syrup formulation containing 10.00GMS of Lactulose per dosage. It is primarily used in the treatment of constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide that is not absorbed in the small intestine and reaches the colon where it is broken down by bacteria into various acids. These acids help soften the stool, regulate bowel movements, and provide relief from constipation. In cases of hepatic encephalopathy, lactulose helps reduce the levels of toxic substances in the body. It is a gentle laxative that is suitable for adults and children.
