Duphalac as laxative

2023-12-05 03:04:10
I am taking duphalac 10 ml everyday from past 5 months for constipation. Ever since I am doing this I have two bowel movements daily. The first one has normal stool where as second one has loose stool post like type 6 as per Bristol stool chart. Do I need to reduce duphalac dose to take care of this?
