About Dulcoflex Natural Tablet

Dulcoflex Natural Tablet contains Senna Glycosides, which work by stimulating the muscles of the intestines and helping retain water in the bowel, making stools softer and promoting easier bowel movements.

In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as flatulence (wind), abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or brown discolouration of urine. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, if these side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

Do not take Dulcoflex Natural Tablet if you are allergic to any of its contents. Do not take Dulcoflex Natural Tablet if you have galactosemia (a galactose intolerance disorder).
