How Long Is It Safe To Take Cremaffin For Kid?

Hi, My 11 year son has been taking Cremaffin for 2 weeks now and we have been told to take Cremaffin Plus for another 2 weeks. I am concerned that he is taking laxatives every day (twice a day) for this ammount of time. How long is it safe for my son to keep on taking Cremmafin?

Hi,
Instead of giving laxative to child one should go to find out cause of having this problem.
Give him plenty of water and more fiber containing food.
Increase food intake.
Encourage him to go for more sports, playing.
Do not make habit of giving laxative at this age.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
