Cremaffin is a laxative in nature, and it helps assist bowel movements and softens the stool.

Liquid Paraffin: Also known as mineral oil or liquid petrolatum, liquid paraffin is used as a stool softener. It is also used in a combination with other medicines in skin care products to prevent dry skin. Liquid Paraffin is not recommended in children less than 3 years.

Magnesium Hydroxide: It is an inorganic chemical compound which helps in reducing stomach acid and increases water in the intestines. It is used as a laxative to get relive from constipation. It is also used as an antacid to get relieve from sour stomach, indigestion, and heartburn.

Sodium Picosulfate: It is a stimulant laxative which helps in cleaning the colon as a preparation for colonoscopy or surgery in adults.

      How Cremaffin Works?

Cremaffin works by stimulating the bowel muscles gently, which in turn increases peristalsis that helps, propel bowel contents out of one’s body. The Cremaffin medicine also lubricates and helps soften stool, helping easy passage.

The paraffin present in the formulation also aids the retention of water and fat in the stool. The milk of magnesia present in the formula also has an important role to play; it draws water into the intestine which then helps soften the stool. Sodium picosulfate stimulates the bowels and makes them work faster and effectively.

In addition to this, the Cremaffin helps neutralize stomach acid as well thereby being effective against certain situations of angina, and acid reflux or GERD.

How to use Cremaffin?

The Cremaffin should not be taken on an empty stomach as this can increase the chance of side effects like diarrhea. The instructions on the bottle, or the doctor’s advice should be followed and an overdose should be avoided.

Adults: between 7.5 ml to 15 ml

When is Cremaffin prescribed?

Cremaffin is a medicine used for treating constipation, painful conditions of anus and stomach acid. It is a laxative that softens the stools and helps in emptying the bowels.

Constipation: Its ingredient liquid paraffin is effective in treating constipation in both adults and children. It softens and lubricates the stools that help it in passing through the bowel. This relieves constipation by making it easier for the stool to pass.

Softening of stool: The cremaffin goes through the faecal matter and softens the stools. The paraffin accelerates the osmosis and pours more liquid in the stool by making it soft. It activates the nerve fibres within the colon and reduces the pain caused due to hard stools in piles.

Indigestion and heartburn: Indigestion is a sign of an underlying problem like gastroesophageal reflux disease, ulcer rather than a condition on its own. It causes recurrent pain in the upper abdomen. The cremaffin has antacids that help in reducing acidity, heartburn, and indigestion.

Relieves pain in the rectal/anus area : Rectal bleeding is not necessarily serious. It may cause mild bleeding. One may experience few drops of blood in the stool. This is from haemorrhoids or a small scratch from a stool. Sometimes the bleeding may get serious causing blood clots or black stools.

How Does Eptoin 100 MG Tablet Works?

It acts on the region of motor cortex in the brain to prevent the spread of seizure activity. It lowers the heightened activity of brain stem which regulates the grand mal seizures.

Eptoin also reduces the electrical conductivity between the brain cells, which in turn puts off any abrupt brain signal seen in seizures.

It controls and prevents the spread of seizure activity by acting on sodium ion channels on the neuron’s cell membrane.

It causes efflux of sodium ions from neurons and stabilizes overexcited signals which can result from environmental stimulants.

On a cellular level, Eptoin acts as a muscle relaxant which helps it to regulate the heartbeat in case of cardiac arrhythmia.

It is generally prescribed to treat, prevent and control symptoms associated with epilepsy and various kinds of seizures.

Artificial intelligence can help some businesses but may not work for others

The temptation for businesses to use artificial intelligence and other technology to improve performance, drive down labor costs, and better the bottom line is understandable. But before pursuing automation that could put the jobs of human employees at risk, it is important that business owners take careful stock of their operations.

AI should not be applied to every business in the same manner, according to Chris Meyer, professor of practice and the director of undergraduate education at the Lally School of Management at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He details his research on the subject in a new conceptual paper published today in a special issue of the Journal of Service Management on "AI and Machine Learning in Service Management."

"AI has the potential to upend our ideas about what tasks are uniquely suited to humans, but poorly implemented or strategically inappropriate service automation can alienate customers, and that will hurt businesses in the long term," Meyer said.

According to Meyer's findings, the choice to use automation or AI needs to be a strategic decision. If a business competes by offering a substantial amount of human interaction, or has a range of service offerings that change from client to client, the company will have a lower success rate in replacing human professionals with AI technologies. Meyer also found that the opposite is true: Businesses that limit customer choice and interaction will see greater success if they choose to automate.

Business leaders considering a switch to automation must carefully examine their strategies for managing knowledge resources. Before companies invest in AI, they need to understand whether replacing human judgment and interaction with digital technologies and algorithms is a strategically sound idea.

"The ideas are of use to managers, as they suggest where and how to use automation or human service workers based on ideas that are both sound and practical," Meyer said. "Managers need guidance. Like any form of knowledge, AI and all forms of service automation have their place, but managers need good models to know where that place is."

Furthermore, Meyer determined that in businesses where trust and reputation are critical factors in building and maintaining a client base, people will be more likely to be effective than automated technologies. Conversely, in areas where human biases are particularly harmful to the service provision, AI will be a relatively better tool for companies to employ.

Meyer also asserts that many businesses will ultimately be using a mix of people skills and automation to effectively compete. Even AI, which can handle very sophisticated tasks, works best alongside humans -- and vice versa.

"Automation and human workers can and should be used together," Meyer said. "But the extent of automation must fit with the business's strategic approach to customers."
