What Is The Correct Dosage Of Cremalax Prescribed For A 77 Yr Old For Constipation After Surgery For Multiple Fractures?
What would be the correct dosage of Cremalax 10 mg for my 77 yr old father who's been prescribed the tablets but I've misplaced the prescription (only got the medicines and bills with me). He underwent surgery about 6 days ago for multiple fractures and is on bed rest. Has not passed stool since then.

when the person does not mobilize
constipation happens
try the tab twice a day
it may be stepped up to thrice a day if constipation persists
or reduced to once at bedtime if stools happen
and may be stopped if loosestools develop
i hope that helps
