MedDataToolCitroma is a medication used to help relieve occasional constipation, which means it can help you have regular bowel movements. It works by drawing water into the intestines, making it easier to pass stool. You can take it by drinking a full glass of liquid with each dose, either as a single daily dose or in smaller doses throughout the day. For adults and children aged 12 and over, the starting dose is 6.5 to 10 fluid ounces in a 24-hour period, while children aged 6 to under 12 should take 3 to 7 fluid ounces, with a maximum of 7 fluid ounces in 24 hours. It's important to note that if you are under 2 years old, you should ask a doctor before using it.
