Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My younger sister was given cremaffin due to constipation problem but she lost some weight after some months of using cremaffin. Is it possible that the weight loss that she is experiencing is due to cremaffin. Should she discontinue the use of cremaffin completely?
Hello Cremaffin ,ingredient is liquid paraffin . Mechanism of action. Lubricating and softening effect to facilitate colonic transit . If used for prolong period( and also if excessive use) may causes seepage, irritation abdominal pain , nausea . This drug don't reduces weight ,so your sister can use it safely but prolong use is not good. If your sister lost weight more than expected then consult a physician , if within normal limit ,need not to worry. Good luck.
