Dulcoflex Natural Tablet is an over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription (depending on region) herbal laxative used for the short-term relief of occasional constipation. Its active ingredient is Senna glycoside, derived from the leaves and pods of the senna plant. 
Key Information
  • Active Ingredient: Each tablet typically contains 7.5 mg of Sennosides (senna glycosides). In some regions, it may contain Bisacodyl.
  • Mechanism of Action: Senna is a stimulant laxative that works by stimulating the muscles in the intestines, which increases bowel movements. It also helps the bowel retain water, which softens the stool and promotes easier, more comfortable passage.
  • Uses:
    • Short-term relief from occasional constipation.
    • To promote regularity during periods of sluggish digestion.
    • To ease discomfort associated with hemorrhoids or anal fissures by softening stools.
    • Bowel preparation before medical procedures like colonoscopy or surgery, under medical supervision.
  • Administration:
    • The typical adult dosage is one to two tablets taken once daily at bedtime.
    • It generally produces a bowel movement within 6-12 hours, providing overnight relief.
    • Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not chew or crush it.
    • Do not take it with milk or antacids, as this can affect the enteric coating and cause stomach irritation or reduced effectiveness.
    • It is vital to stay well-hydrated while using this medication. 
Potential Side Effects and Precautions
  • Common Side Effects: Generally mild and temporary, including abdominal pain or cramps, nausea, diarrhea, and flatulence.
  • Precautions:
    • Short-Term Use Only: Do not use it for more than a week without a doctor’s advice, as prolonged use can lead to dependence, electrolyte imbalance, and damage to bowel function.
    • Contraindications: Avoid use if you have appendicitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), bowel obstruction, severe dehydration, or undiagnosed abdominal pain.
    • Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before using if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
