ABOUT CREMA HEP 200ML

Cremahep Syrup belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Additionally, Cremahep Syrup is also used to prevent hepatic encephalopathy (a decrease in brain function due to liver disease). Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass. Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disease in which the liver does not remove toxins from the body, leading to loss of brain function.

Cremahep Syrup contains Lactitol, a disaccharide sugar that breaks down into low-molecular-weight organic acids in the colon, increasing the osmotic pressure. This causes an increase in water content and stool volume, thereby making the stool softer and more comfortable to pass and providing relief from constipation. In patients with hepatic encephalopathy, lactitol lowers the colon pH, thereby suppressing the absorption of unionized ammonia and other toxins. It also enhances nitrogen excretion through faeces.

You are advised to take Cremahep Syrup as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical conditions. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as abdominal distension, cramps, and flatulence (gas). Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

To treat your condition effectually, continue taking Cremahep Syrup for as long as your doctor has prescribed. Drink plenty of fluids (at least 6-8 glasses) while taking Cremahep Syrup . Consult your doctor before taking Cremahep Syrup if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe you Cremahep Syrup only if the benefits outweigh the risks. Inform your doctor if there is no bowel movement or if you find rectal bleeding after taking Cremahep Syrup . Do not take Cremahep Syrup for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Cremahep Syrup for a bowel movement.
