Since there is a history of fecal impaction, it is very important to maintain soft, regular stools long-term to prevent recurrence. About your medications: * Duphalac (lactulose) is safe for long-term use, especially in elderly patients * It can be continued daily for several weeks to months, and then gradually reduced based on bowel regularity * The goal is 1 soft stool daily or at least every alternate day without straining How to adjust: * If stools are soft and regular → gradually reduce the dose * If constipation recurs → continue or increase slightly as needed Additional advice: * Ensure adequate hydration (2–2.5 litres/day) * Take a fiber-rich diet (fruits, vegetables, oats, isabgol if needed) * Maintain regular toilet habits (fixed timing, avoid delaying urge) * Avoid dependence on multiple laxatives together unless prescribed Important: * Occasional 1–2 day gap can be normal if stool is soft * Watch for warning signs: persistent constipation, abdominal pain, vomiting, or bleeding In summary: Duphalac can be safely continued and tapered slowly—there is no fixed short duration, especially after fecal impaction. Prevention of hard stool is the key.
