Cromide Forte Tablets Description

Cromide Forte is a prescription medication used to manage abdominal pain in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It is a combination of three medicines - Chlordiazepoxide (5mg) + Clidinium (2.5mg) + Dicyc

loverine/Dicyclomine (10mg). Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder characterised by abdominal discomfort or pain with alteration of bowel habits (diarrhoea or constipation) in the absence of any other causative agent. The exact cause of this syndrome is not known, but multiple factors like gut immunity, psychological stress, the kind of food consumed, and the brain-gut interaction are indicated in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Affected people may experience abdominal bloating, crampy abdominal pain, diarrhoea or constipation. Clidinium and Dicyclomine are antispasmodics and Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine. The mode of action of Cromida Forte is through the combination of actions of these ingredients, which help relieve the symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Directions for use of Cromida Forte should be strictly followed. The medication should be taken only after consulting a doctor. It should not be abruptly started or stopped. It is advised to take the tablet at the same time every day. Side effects of Cromida Forte include dry mouth, dizziness, constipation, urinary retention, blurring of vision, nausea, and sleepiness.
