Duphalac syrup bottle 500 ml
AMZV What is Duphalac and when is it used? The active ingredient in Duphalac is lactulose, a sugar that does not occur naturally. Since your body cannot digest or absorb Duphalac, it remains in the intestine and reaches the large intestine unchanged. There it causes an increase in acidity due to the conversion by the intestinal flora. This stimulates the colon. A larger amount of water is also retained in the large intestine, which allows for softening of the stool and easier elimination. In addition, the transfer of certain toxic substances from the intestinal contents into the blood circulation is prevented and they are excreted with the stool.Duphalac is taken for constipation, i.e. if you have problems emptying your stool. These difficulties can come in two forms: either no voiding at all, or then small and hard stools. Duphalac helps improve bowel movements. We also recommend that you adjust your daily habits as well. Below is some practical advice that may help you. Lactulose, as a prebiotic substance, can enhance the growth of health-promoting bacteria (such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus) while suppressing potential disease-causing bacteria (such as Clostridium and Escherichia coli).This can result in a more favorable balance in the gut flora.The doctor can also use Duphalac to treat other diseases ( especially for liver disease).What needs to be considered?The following advice can help you break the bad habits that are a common cause of constipation:Regular physical activity.Drink enough water, at least 1.5 liters a day.Never skip a meal or start a diet until your bowels are working properly again.Get started for the day a good breakfast: wholemeal bread, fruit, coffee (not strong tea), yogurt.Don't suppress a bowel movement if you feel it.Never take a laxative for a long time without asking your doctor.Preferably eat unpeeled fruit, raw vegetables, nuts, figs, dried plums, wholemeal bread, rye bread, whey, yogurt.Eat calmly and chew every bite carefully.Avoid toast, white bread, rusks, strong tea, bananas, white rice, hard-boiled eggs.For diabetics15 ml of Duphalac syrup contain a maximum of 2.8 g absorbable carbohydrates.In normal doses, Duphalac can also be taken by diabetics.When can Duphalac not be used? If you are hypersensitive to the active ingredient or any of the ingredients. People who have been prescribed a galactose or lactose-free diet by their doctor should not take Duphalac. If there is an intestinal obstruction other than simple constipation, or if there is a tear or risk of a tear in the digestive tract, Duphalac must not be used. If in doubt, ask your doctor. When should you be careful while taking Duphalac? If after a few days you notice that your stools are too watery, it is enough to reduce the recommended doses.
