Duphalac 200ml Syrup

Lactulose is a sugar the body cannot absorb. It travels intact to the colon, where it draws water into the stool osmotically and is fermented by gut bacteria into acids that further soften and stimulate, producing a gentle, unforced result in one to three days. Because nothing is absorbed and nothing whips the bowel muscle, it is the laxative trusted for pregnant women, the elderly and long-term use, and at higher medical doses the same molecule treats complications of liver disease. Duphalac is the original branded lactulose with the longest track record, the premium tier of the gentle chemistry, and the same bottle doctors dose higher in liver disease.

Not every constipation needs a sledgehammer. When you want the stool softer and the rhythm restored without cramps or urgency, an osmotic sugar that simply holds water where it is needed is the gentlest effective chemistry available. It is also the safe default when you are unsure: the option a pharmacist can hand to almost anyone, from toddler to great-grandmother, without a screening interrogation.
