Constipation, Took Duphaloc, Still Not Relieved. Remedy ?
Hello Doc, I am 27 year old female...I am suffering from constipation for the past few days. I bought Duphalac today and had it after dinner. (i dint consult any doctor). But I am still not relieved. it been 2 hours. I just wanted to know how long this will take to effect? Last time an year back when i took Duphalac it got into effect within an hour. I am just worried. Pls tell about the dosage also. i weigh 59 kg so how much should i take?

Hi, Febimuz,
Thanks for query.
Duphalac is mild laxative and takes about 48 hours.
So it should be taken at night and by the morning one gets motion.
So wait for 1-2 days for its maximum effect.
Take 10-15 gms or 15-30 ml.
take plenty of water and green veggies and fiber diet.
Ok and bye.

hello... you can take a laxative sometimes but please dont depend on it as it leaches nutrients from the body.. try changing your diet and lifestyle.. eat high fiber meals like fruits, nuts, salads, veggies, oats, brown rice etc... drink lot of water.. go for brisk walk/ jog daily and sleep well..avoid junk, breads, biscuits and processed foods as they cause more constipation..
