Duphalac Syrup 240ml (240ml) is a high-quality pharmaceutical product used for the long-term management of chronic constipation and liver-related disorders, available for home delivery at PakMeds.

Duphalac Syrup 240ml Ingredients and Usage

The 240 ml pack of Duphalac Syrup provides a larger volume for patients who require long-term maintenance therapy for chronic constipation or hepatic encephalopathy. Containing the same effective Lactulose, it is a staple in Pakistani healthcare for patients needing sustained bowel support.

It is particularly indicated for those suffering from habitual constipation or where the passage of stool needs to be softened for medical reasons, such as after surgery for hemorrhoids. Its high safety profile makes it suitable for extended use under medical guidance. PakMeds ensures that your ongoing supply of Duphalac is available in this convenient larger size.

The larger bottle is ideal for households with multiple users or for individuals managing chronic conditions that require consistent daily dosing to maintain a regular and healthy digestive system.

How Does Duphalac Syrup 240ml Work?

Duphalac works by harnessing the body’s natural osmotic processes. The active Lactulose reaches the colon unchanged, where it is fermented by beneficial bacteria. This fermentation process lowers the pH of the colon, creating an acidic environment that draws moisture into the bowel.

This hydration of the waste material makes it softer and increases its bulk, which triggers the muscles of the large intestine to move. For liver patients, this process is life-saving, as it prevents the absorption of toxic ammonia by turning it into ammonium ions that are easily excreted. This prevents the toxin from crossing the blood-brain barrier.

Because it acts as a prebiotic, it also encourages the growth of healthy bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which contributes to overall gut health. It does not irritate the bowel lining, making it a “gentle” laxative compared to chemical stimulants.

Duphalac Syrup 240ml Side Effects

Potential side effects include temporary bloating, belching, and gas, especially during the first 48 hours of use. If the dose is too high, diarrhea and cramping can occur, which can lead to dehydration if not corrected. Some users may notice a sweet, slightly cloying aftertaste.

If you experience persistent nausea or vomiting, PakMeds recommends contacting your doctor to adjust your dose. For most patients, the side effects are manageable and decrease significantly over time as the digestive system stabilizes on the medication.

List of Warnings:

• Monitor blood sugar levels if you have diabetes and are on high-dose therapy.
• Not suitable for individuals with lactose or galactose intolerance.
• Avoid taking other laxatives simultaneously unless directed by a doctor.
• Maintain adequate fluid intake to support the osmotic action of the medicine.
• Consult a doctor before use if you have undiagnosed abdominal pain.
