Hi
Thank you for writing to Health care Magic.
Dulcoflex is a potent drug used for treatment of constipation. It is known to be associated with few side effects like diarrhoea, nausea, dizziness, decreased blood pressure....
These side effects related to Dulcoflex may be the reason for loss of consciousness after taking medicine in your father.
However Cremalax is a mild drug and it is devoid of the side effects of Dulcoflex.
Hence I advice you to continue Cremalax drug as advised by your doctor. No need to be worried it will not cause the problems as were seen with Dulcoflex.
He needs to continue other drugs as advised by your doctor.
Hope the information provided is helpful to you.
Please do write back for further questions.
