Duphalac is effective but not ideal for long-term use. To taper off: Gradually reduce the dose over 2–3 weeks while introducing natural remedies (ghee, fiber, fruits). Monitor stool consistency — if constipation worsens, slow down the taper.
Ghee at night should be safe, but if your child already has reduced appetite,cough or is feverish it’s pachan wouldn’t happen very well. Gradually reduce the dosage of laxative and simultaneously let her take indukantam ghrta 5gm in the mornings on empty stomach when the child starts feeling hungry. It will improve her metabolism. Also use rajanyadi choorna 3 gm twice daily before food this will ensure her digestive powder stays good and bowel movements smooth.
----Giving ghee with lukewarm water at night usually doesn’t cause cough, though giving it right before bed can sometimes trigger mild irritation if your child already has a cold. For constipation, focus on fiber-rich foods, plenty of water, and physical activity. You can gradually reduce Duphalac now that she’s on it for 3 months—cut the dose in half for a few days, then stop if her stools stay soft. Try to make bowel movements a routine after meals.
