Description

Overview of the medicine

Carmin 25 mg capsule is a carminative and digestant medicine used to relieve symptoms of indigestion, flatulence, bloating, and dyspepsia by aiding digestion and reducing gas formation.

Uses & Indications

Indigestion

Flatulence and bloating

Dyspepsia

Post-meal discomfort

Dosage

Adults

1-2 capsules 2-3 times daily, preferably with or after meals, or as directed by the physician.

Elderly

No specific dosage adjustment is typically required; follow adult dosage or physician's advice.

Renal_impairment

No specific dosage adjustment required as systemic absorption is minimal.

How to Take

Take the capsule orally, preferably with or immediately after meals, with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the capsule.

Mechanism of Action

This medicine works by breaking down food components and/or reducing gas accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby facilitating digestion and alleviating discomfort associated with indigestion.

Pharmacokinetics

Onset

Effects are typically observed within 30-60 minutes after oral administration.

Excretion

Undigested components and metabolites are primarily excreted via feces.

Half life

Not applicable for locally acting agents that are not significantly absorbed systemically.

Absorption

Systemic absorption is minimal as the active components (e.g., enzymes, herbal extracts) primarily act locally in the gastrointestinal tract.

Metabolism

Active components, if enzymatic, are denatured and digested within the GI tract. Any absorbed herbal constituents would undergo hepatic metabolism.

Side Effects

Contraindications

Known hypersensitivity to any component of the capsule.
Severe gastrointestinal obstruction or ileus.

Drug Interactions

Antacids

May alter the efficacy of certain digestive enzymes; separate administration by 1-2 hours.

Proton Pump Inhibitors

May reduce the effectiveness of enzymes by altering gastric pH, though generally not clinically significant for carminatives.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

Overdose

Overdose is unlikely to cause severe effects, but may lead to increased gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. Symptomatic and supportive treatment is advised.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Consult a doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Generally considered safe, but medical advice is recommended.
