Duphalac is used to treat constipation and liver disease.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the active substance lactulose is broken down in the small intestine, acids are formed which bind water and increase the volume of the intestine. In this way, bowel movements are normalized and constipation is relieved. The effect of the drug in liver disease is considered to be related to the greatly increased production of acids in the colon when the drug is administered in high doses.
