Cremaffin Mixed Fruit Gel
Rs. 0
Product Overview
It contains liquid paraffin and milk of magnesia as the active ingredients. The milk of magnesia works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis. The presence of liquid paraffin is responsible for the lubricating properties which help in retaining water and fat in the stools. This helps to ease bowel movement and aids in smooth defecation.

It should be taken as advised by your doctor. However, the best time to take this syrup is at bedtime, preferably with water and if necessary, again in the morning. The ideal dosage of this liquid for:
- Adults and children over 12 years: 1/2 to 1 tablespoons.
- Children aged between 5 to 12 years: 1-2 teaspoonfuls before meals or bedtime.
- Children aged between 3 to 5 years: 1/2 to 1 teaspoonful or as advised by the doctor.
How It works
-
Paraffin (Mineral Oil): Paraffin, when taken orally, acts as a lubricant laxative. It forms a slippery coating on the walls of the intestines, which helps to soften the stool and ease its passage through the digestive system. By lubricating the stool, paraffin reduces friction and facilitates bowel movements. It also helps to retain water in the stool, making it easier to pass. Paraffin is not absorbed by the body and is excreted along with the stool.
-
Milk of Magnesia (Magnesium Hydroxide): Milk of Magnesia is an osmotic laxative. When ingested, it works by drawing water into the intestines. This influx of water helps to soften the stool and increases the volume of the bowel contents. The increased volume and water content stimulate bowel contractions, promoting more frequent and easier bowel movements.
