Digestive health issues are frequently ignored despite presenting early warning signs such as recurring acidity, persistent bloating, unexplained stomach pain, bowel changes, fatigue, and fluctuations in weight or appetite. Recognising these symptoms and seeking timely consultation can play a crucial role in preventing more serious health complications.

Dr. Khurshed Vazifdar adds, “Digestive symptoms are often dismissed as minor or temporary, but they can sometimes indicate underlying conditions that require timely attention. Early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve outcomes and prevent complications. We encourage individuals to listen to their bodies and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.”

MUMBAI: 1 in every 5 Indians today suffers from constipation. Dulcoflex®, India’s trusted name and one of the most accessible laxative solutions in digestive wellness, has launched a unique campaign termed “kNOw Constipation”. The campaign aims at normalizing conversations around one of the country’s most prevalent yet under-discussed health conditions, ‘constipation’.

This novel concept will be leveraging light-hearted humor around the problem to normalize conversations around constipation, especially among women, without making fun of the sufferer. While constipation is something that can affect men and women, women end up suffering more as they are more reluctant to discuss and hence treat it properly. Also, women are biologically more prone to constipation due to anatomical, physiological, and hormonal factors.

To break the silence around one of India’s most common yet seldom discussed health concerns, Dulcoflex® is redefining the narrative with its “kNOw Constipation” campaign to drive the importance of science-backed treatment options for timely treating constipation. To blend humor with relatability and create a lasting impact, popular stand-up comedians – Aanchal Aggarwal, Srishti Dixit, and Soumya Venugopal, soon to be followed by Gurleen Pannu, Jamie Lever, and Shreya Roy, have come together to disrupt the deafening silence on the topic of ‘Constipation’. With this fresh approach, aiming to democratize awareness, Dulcoflex® is turning constipation into an open and empowering conversation.

Talking about the newly launched campaign, Nupur Gurbaxani, Head of Brand & Innovation, Opella CHC India, said, “Campaigns around constipation usually center around men and often end up ridiculing the sufferer, hence trivializing a very real health issue. In line with our mission to make healthcare as simple and accessible as it should be, our ‘Know Constipation’ campaign aims to break the barrier, and we want women to lead the conversations & be the change agent that normalizes constipation in society. Because only when we understand constipation will we know how to prevent it and address it right.”

The campaign aims to extend beyond digital channels with a holistic approach, which will manifest with on-ground grassroot level activations and community engagement, and radio channel initiatives across India. By moving the conversation offline, Dulcoflex® aims to spread awareness more widely in both urban and rural areas.

Constipation impacts 276 million Indians daily (Nielsen U&A 2024 Functional + Perpetual). However, one third of those affected never seek help, and almost half rely on home remedies that may not always resolve the issue. For years, popular culture and advertising have turned constipation into a joke, downplaying the real struggles of patients.
