About Cremaffin Syrup 120ml

Cremaffin Syrup Uses

• Treats occasional constipation in adults and older children
• Eases straining during bowel movements in people with piles
• Prepares the bowel before some diagnostic or surgical procedures, on a doctor's advice
• Used short term for constipation caused by a low fibre diet or limited mobility

Benefits

• Liquid form makes dosing easy to measure with a cup
• Lubricates the stool while drawing water into the bowel for softer motions
• Generally gentle on the stomach compared to stimulant laxatives
• Can be taken at bedtime for a bowel movement the next morning

What Experts Say

Cremaffin Syrup combines liquid paraffin with milk of magnesia in one easy to dose liquid. Doctors explain that the paraffin coats and lubricates the stool while the milk of magnesia pulls extra fluid into the intestine, together producing a softer, easier to pass motion within several hours.

This combination is frequently suggested for people who need to avoid pushing hard during a bowel movement, including those with piles, fissures, or after certain abdominal or rectal procedures. Its gentle, non stimulant action makes it a common short term choice compared to harsher purgatives.

Clinicians advise against using this syrup continuously for more than five to seven days without medical review, since long term use of mineral oil based laxatives can interfere with the body's uptake of vitamins A, D, E and K. It should also be taken well away from bedtime to reduce the small risk of aspiration, and used cautiously in very young children or bedridden patients.

Drug Interactions

• Other Bowel Medicines: Using alongside other laxatives or stool softeners raises the risk of loose stools and dehydration.

Risks and warnings
