julab meaning
Julab (جلاب / जुलाब) is a word from Urdu and Hindi with these meanings:
- Diarrhea / Loose motions — the most common colloquial usage. It refers to watery or loose stools, typically caused by stomach upset.
- Laxative — it also means a purgative or laxative medicine (a drug that induces bowel movements).
The word originates from the Persian/Arabic julāb, which historically referred to a rose-water syrup used medicinally — the same root that gave English the word "julep" (as in a mint julep cocktail).
In everyday usage (Hindi/Urdu/South Asian languages): "mujhe julab lag raha hai" = "I have diarrhea / my stomach is upset."

- Prescription must be in triplicate — one copy to patient, one to retailer, one retained by prescriber
- Only registered medical practitioners (MBBS and above) can prescribe
- Retailer must maintain a register of all NRx sales
- Quantities are strictly limited per prescription
