Dulfre 5 mg Tablet 10's

Dulfre 5 mg Tablet is used to relieve constipation and help empty the bowels before certain medical procedures. The detailed uses of Dulfre 5 mg Tablet are as follows: 

• Short-term relief of occasional constipation: It helps ease infrequent, dry, or difficult bowel movements by softening stools and stimulating the natural movement of the bowels.
• Bowel clearance before medical procedures: It completely empties the colon prior to surgeries, radiological examinations, or colonoscopies to ensure a clear view of the intestinal tract.

Dulfre 5 mg Tablet provides reliable relief from constipation by stimulating bowel movements and helping stools pass more easily. It is often taken at bedtime and typically works within 6 to 12 hours, offering several benefits:

• Provides Overnight Relief: Usually works within 6 to 12 hours when taken at bedtime, helping promote a bowel movement by the following morning.
• Reduces Straining: Stimulates natural intestinal movements, making bowel movements easier and reducing the need for painful straining.
• Supports Recovery: May be particularly beneficial for people recovering from surgery or managing conditions such as haemorrhoids, where straining should be minimised.
• Relieves Bloating and Discomfort: Helps reduce the pressure, bloating, and abdominal discomfort associated with constipation.

To get the maximum benefit from Dulfre 5 mg Tablet treatment, follow these step-by-step instructions carefully: 

• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this can destroy its protective coating and cause severe stomach pain or nausea.
• Do not take this medicine within one hour of consuming dairy products (such as milk, cheese, or yoghurt) or taking antacids, as they can cause the tablet to dissolve too early in your stomach.
• It is best taken at bedtime to encourage a natural bowel movement the following morning.

Always follow your doctor's exact instructions regarding how long to take this medicine, and do not use it for more than 5 consecutive days without medical advice.

• Increase Fibre Intake: Gradually increase your intake of fibre-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains to help soften stools naturally.
• Stay Well-Hydrated: Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water daily, as adequate hydration helps laxatives work effectively and supports healthy bowel movements.
• Stay Physically Active: Engage in regular light exercise, such as a daily 20-minute walk, to help stimulate the muscles of the digestive tract.
• Maintain a Regular Toilet Routine: Establish a consistent daily toilet schedule and avoid delaying the urge to have a bowel movement.

• Avoid Long-Term Use: Do not use this medicine for more than 5 consecutive days unless advised by your doctor, as prolonged use may cause dependence on laxatives.
• Swallow Tablets Whole: Always swallow the tablet whole. Do not split, crush, or chew it, as this may damage the protective enteric coating.
• Avoid Dairy Products and Antacids Around Dosing: Avoid dairy products, calcium supplements, and antacids for at least one hour before and after taking Dulfre 5 mg Tablet , as they may increase the risk of stomach cramps.
• Seek Medical Advice for Ongoing Symptoms: Stop taking Dulfre 5 mg Tablet and consult your doctor if constipation does not improve after a few days of use, keeps returning, or is accompanied by symptoms such as rectal bleeding, unexplained weight loss, severe abdominal pain, or fever.
