ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Duphalac oral solution offers relief from constipation for all the family.
Duphalac oral solution is a syrup that contains a laxative called lactulose. 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
Made in Netherlands
