Duphalac Bottle Of 100ml Enema

Duphalac Enema contains Lactulose as the active ingredient. It is used as a rectal osmotic laxative preparation for the management of severe constipation and hepatic encephalopathy. Lactulose is not digested or absorbed in the small intestine. After rectal administration, it reaches the colon unchanged, where it is metabolized by intestinal bacteria into organic acids such as lactic acid and acetic acid. These organic acids increase the osmotic pressure within the colon, drawing water into the intestinal lumen. This hydration of the stool softens hardened fecal matter, increases stool volume, and stimulates peristalsis, thereby promoting bowel evacuation. This mechanism makes Duphalac Enema particularly useful in cases of severe constipation where rapid relief is required or when oral laxatives are not feasible. In patients with liver disease, especially those suffering from hepatic encephalopathy, Duphalac Enema plays an important role. Duphalac Enema is generally used when oral lactulose cannot be given or when immediate bowel cleansing is necessary under medical supervision. It is intended strictly for rectal administration and should be used only as directed by a healthcare professional to minimize the risk of complications such as dehydration, abdominal cramps, or electrolyte imbalance.
