Medicine overview
Description
Composition
Per 5ml: Black pepper (Piper nigrum) 150mg, Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) 100mg, Lemon (Citrus aurantifolia) 100mg, Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) 50mg, Emblic Myrobalan (Emblica officinalis) 50mg, Belliric Myrobalan (Terminalia bellirica) 38mg, Chebulic Myrobalan (Terminalia chebula) 38mg, Ginger (Zingiber officinale) 10mg, and Sea salt 8mg. This is the same underlying formulation used in the Carmina Tablet from the same manufacturer, sold under the combined "Syrup & Tablet Carmina" product listing.
Separately, Hamdard's Pakistan and UK operations sell a related but distinctly-branded chewable product called "Carmina Plus." This is a different, enhanced-market variant, not the same product sold in Bangladesh under the plain "Carmina" name used in this catalog.
Uses & Indications
Hyperacidity, flatulence, indigestion, gas-related abdominal pain, loss of appetite (anorexia), constipation, and stomach and liver disorders. As with all traditional/Unani medicine indications, this reflects the manufacturer's stated traditional uses rather than claims backed by disclosed clinical trial data.
Dosage & Administration
Adults: 2 teaspoonfuls (10ml), 2-3 times daily, after meals. Children: 1/2-1 teaspoonful (2.5-5ml), 2-3 times daily, per physician guidance. Follow the instructions on your specific product packaging, or consult a pharmacist or physician.
Precautions & Side Effects
No known contraindications or significant side effects have been reported at the recommended therapeutic dosage. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, and anyone with an existing health condition, should consult a physician before use as a general precaution.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and out of reach of children. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack. This listing is for the 100ml pack size, matching the catalog's strength field; 225ml and 450ml sizes of the same formulation are also sold.
