No major side effects but please follow few measures.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

Usually there are no major side effects of long term uses of syp. Cremaffin.

Major limitation is dependence i. e. It is difficult to pass stools after discontinuing cremaffin after long term use.

So I would suggest you to reduce syp cremaffin dosage by 5 ml every week. Following measures will help you to reduce the dose and dependence.

1. Increase daily water intake.
2. Take high fiber diet like whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables salads.
3. Avoid fast food and processed foods including cake, biscuit.
4. Do regular exercise like brisk walking daily for 30 minutes.

Along with that kindly watch for symptoms like loose motion, anal irritation.

Let me know I can assist you further...

Regards,
Dr Shyam Kale
