That's completely fine to take cremaffin.bed ridden pt usually suffer from such prob. The thing which matters is how much cremaffin he is taking.it is usually taken 30 ml in night'before bed time,and also u have to see that pt should not suffer from diarrhoea,so u have to increase or decrease the dose accordingly.
