Celemix Infusion
Prescription Required
Product introduction
Celemix Infusion is used to treat constipation. It is a laxative and makes your stool easier to pass by drawing water into your bowel. It is given as an injection in patients who are hospitalized or are unable to take laxatives by mouth.
Celemix Infusion is generally administered by a doctor or a nurse in a hospital or a clinical setting. You should not self-administer this medicine at home. The dose and duration of your treatment will depend on the severity of your condition.
The most common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps. These are usually mild and go away after a couple of days. You can help avoid these side effects by drinking plenty of fluids or taking the medicine between meals. Occasionally people develop serious side effects including severe stomach pain, severe diarrhea, mood changes, and seizures. Talk to your doctor straight away if you notice any of these.
Before taking Celemix Infusion, you should tell your doctor if you have diabetes or if you are unable to digest milk sugar (lactose intolerant). If you use this medicine over a long period of time, your doctor may want you to have occasional blood tests to check the mineral levels (e.g., potassium and sodium). Do not take other laxative medicines while taking this medicine and check with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

What types of food to eat when you feel constipated?
You should add more fiber to your diet. You can eat vegetables, fresh fruits and whole grains as they are rich in fiber. Drink plenty of water and avoid taking alcohol. This will help to smoothen the stools and ensure an easy pass through your system. You may also take laxatives or fiber supplements if you are facing issues with digestion. If still your symptoms do not improve, please consult your doctor.
