CREMAFOR PLUS SYRUP 170 ML

How CREMAFOR PLUS SYRUP 170 ML Works

• CREMAFOR PLUS SYRUP 170 ML is a combination medication formulated to provide relief from constipation and related discomfort. It achieves this through the synergistic action of its key ingredients: liquid paraffin, milk of magnesia, and sodium picosulfate.
• Liquid paraffin works as a lubricant. It coats the fecal matter and the intestinal walls, allowing the stool to slide through the intestines more easily. Because it is not absorbed by the body, it softens the stool by preventing water from being absorbed from it. This makes the stool easier to pass, thus alleviating constipation.
• Milk of magnesia, or magnesium hydroxide, is an osmotic laxative. It works by drawing water into the intestines. This increased water content softens the stool and increases the volume of the intestinal contents. The increased volume stimulates bowel motility, promoting peristalsis (the wave-like muscle contractions that move stool through the intestines), and facilitating bowel evacuation.
• Sodium picosulfate is a stimulant laxative. It is converted by gut bacteria into its active form, bis-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-pyridyl-2-methane (BHPM), which then stimulates the nerve endings in the colon wall. This stimulation increases peristaltic activity, resulting in a faster transit time of stool through the colon and ultimately, a bowel movement. It is important to note that stimulant laxatives should be used judiciously and not for prolonged periods, as they can lead to dependency.
• In combination, these three ingredients provide a comprehensive approach to constipation relief. The liquid paraffin softens and lubricates the stool, the milk of magnesia draws water into the intestines to further soften the stool and increase its volume, and the sodium picosulfate stimulates bowel motility. This multi-pronged approach helps to ensure effective and gentle relief from constipation. Always use CREMAFOR PLUS SYRUP 170 ML as directed by your healthcare provider.

If you notice any unusual symptoms, discontinue use and contact your doctor immediately. Monitoring for side effects helps ensure your safety and allows for timely intervention if needed. Report any severe or persistent side effects to your healthcare provider.
• **Maintain Hydration:** When taking CREMAFOR PLUS SYRUP 170 ML, especially if it is for constipation relief, ensure you drink plenty of water throughout the day. Adequate hydration helps soften the stool and facilitates bowel movements, enhancing the effectiveness of the syrup.
• **Consult Before Combining with Other Medications:** Before taking CREMAFOR PLUS SYRUP 170 ML with other medications, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, consult your doctor or pharmacist. This helps prevent potential drug interactions that could reduce the effectiveness of either medication or increase the risk of side effects.
