In some cases, Cremaffin Fresh Tablet may cause certain common side effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, and abdominal pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, consult a doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

FAQs

Cremaffin Fresh Tab 10's is primarily used for the short-term relief of acute constipation. It helps empty the bowels before medical procedures, surgeries, or radiological exams, and provides rapid overnight relief for adults suffering from irregular bowel movements.

When taken orally, the medicine typically takes between 6 and 12 hours to produce a bowel movement. Because of this predictable timeframe, it is highly recommended to take the tablet at bedtime for morning relief.

The standard dosage for adults is 1 to 2 tablets taken once daily at bedtime. However, always start with the lowest possible dose (1 tablet) and consult your doctor to determine the exact dosage suited to your specific medical condition.

No. Cremaffin Fresh should not be used continuously for more than 5 to 7 days. Daily, long-term use of stimulant laxatives can cause your colon to lose its natural ability to contract, leading to laxative dependency and chronic constipation.

Cremaffin syrup is typically an osmotic/lubricant laxative containing Milk of Magnesia and Liquid Paraffin, functioning mainly as a stool softener. Cremaffin Fresh tablets contain Bisacodyl, which is a stimulant laxative that actively triggers the intestinal muscles to push stool out.

These tablets have an enteric coating designed to survive stomach acid and dissolve only in the intestines. Milk and antacids lower stomach acidity, causing the coating to dissolve prematurely in the stomach. This destroys the medicine's effectiveness and causes severe stomach cramps.

Mild abdominal discomfort or cramping is a common, harmless side effect as the intestinal muscles contract to move stool. However, if you experience severe pain, bleeding, or prolonged diarrhoea, stop the medication and consult a physician immediately.

It is a stimulant laxative. While a stool softener simply adds moisture to the stool to make it easier to pass, Bisacodyl directly stimulates the nerves in the colon walls, forcing the muscles to contract and induce a bowel movement.

The price of the 10-tablet strip is highly affordable and regularly updated. Please check the top of this product page or the Apollo Pharmacy cart for the current MRP, available discounts, and delivery offers in your specific pin code.
