Suggest Treatment For Constipation During Pregnancy
My wife pregnancy is 8 weeks now and she is facing constipation problem. Her Gynec suggested to take 15 ml duphalac syrup at bed time and morning time empty stomach. My question is will it be safe to take duphalac during pregnancy or will it have any side effect?

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Duphalac syrup can be taken in pregnancy, it is safe.
However, one should try to correct the constipation of pregnancy by taking plenty of fluids and fibre rich diet.
Excessive duphalac intake can lead to diarrhoea, which can create problems in pregnancy, and hence should be avoided.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
