Duphalac Sticks Syrup 15ml x 20 Sachets deliver gentle, effective relief from constipation in the UAE, with convenient single-dose lactulose sachets the whole family can use. Each 15ml stick contains lactulose at 667mg/ml, a non-habit-forming osmotic laxative that softens stools so they are easier to pass, with a pleasant honey-like taste and no preservatives.

How It Works

Lactulose works in the large bowel, where it is broken down by your gut bacteria. This process draws water into the colon, increasing the water content and bulk of the stool so it becomes softer and easier to pass, helping restore a more comfortable, regular bowel pattern. It also has a prebiotic effect, supporting friendly bifidus bacteria for a favourable balance of intestinal flora. Because lactulose acts gently and is non-habit-forming, it does not cause the dependency sometimes linked with stimulant laxatives. Relief is gradual rather than sudden, so it typically takes up to 48 hours, or two to three days, to produce a satisfactory result.
