About Kremalex Syrup

Kremalex Syrup belongs to the group of medicines called laxatives used to treat constipation. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful and hard to pass.  Symptoms include bloating, abdominal pain, and feeling as if the bowel movement is incomplete.

Kremalex Syrup contains magnesium hydroxide (osmotic laxative) and liquid paraffin (lubricant).

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.

Kremalex Syrup to be given with caution to children if recommended by the doctor.
