Can Normaxin RT Cause Constipation?
I took normaxin rt for twice a day for about 4 months. I have started suffering from hard stool for quite sometime now resulting in anal fissure. Did this happen due to normaxin rt. I m taking cremaffin 20 ml at bed time but the result isn t satisfactory n the fissure is not able to heel as a result. Can someone answer my query?

Hi,
Normaxin RT is mainly used for Diarrhea predominant IBS. It is used twice a day only in patients with severe loose stools (6-7/day). It contains an anticholenergic drug (Clidinium) that reduces your stool frequency, increases the transit time and makes your stool harder. Harder stools can worsen fissures. There is no rationale in using it along with a laxative. A gastroenterologist will help you in getting the correct prescription.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Vaddadi Suresh
