Duphalac Lactulose Oral Solution 1000ml

Duphalac oral solution offers relief from constipation for all the family.

Duphalac oral solution contains a laxative called lactulose. Duphalac may contain small amounts of milk sugars (e.g. lactose), galactose, epilactose or fructose.

As a prebiotic substance, lactulose intensifies the growth of Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, while Clostridium and Escherichia coli may be suppressed, leading to alleviation of constipation.

BENEFITS:

• Relieves chronic constipation
• Little absorption into body
• Suitable for long-term use
