Prime Mixture Carminative

Prime Mixture Carminative is an oral liquid preparation manufactured by Prime Pharmaceutical Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian pharmaceutical company. It is classified as a carminative mixture, a traditional category of oral liquid formulation that combines aromatic plant oils with an alkaline salt. The formulation contains Dill Oil, Peppermint Oil, Sodium Bicarbonate, and Aromatic Spirit of Ammonia, giving it the characteristic mild herbal-minty taste and aroma associated with this type of mixture. It is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid rather than a tablet, capsule, or powder that needs reconstitution.

Prime Mixture Carminative is an OTC product in Malaysia, meaning it can be purchased without a doctor’s prescription, although pharmacist advice is recommended, particularly before giving it to young children. The bottle should be shaken well before each use, since the ingredients can settle over time, and the dose should be measured using a proper measuring spoon or cup rather than an ordinary household spoon. It is intended for oral use only and should never be applied to the skin or used in any other way.

Prime Mixture Carminative is sold in Malaysia in a 60ml bottle, a size intended for regular household use over several weeks depending on frequency of use. Compared with single-ingredient digestive products, it is distinguished by its combination of aromatic oils and an alkaline salt in one ready-mixed oral liquid, and by its long-standing formulation type within Malaysia’s OTC digestive-liquid category.

Shake the bottle well before each use, as the ingredients in Prime Mixture Carminative may settle on standing. Measure the dose using a measuring spoon or cup rather than an ordinary spoon, to ensure accuracy. The mixture can be taken directly or mixed with a small amount of water. Use the cap or dosing device provided, and replace the cap tightly after each use to keep the mixture fresh.

The typical adult dose is 1 to 2 teaspoons (5-10ml), taken up to three times daily after meals, or as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. For children, dosing should follow the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist, as the amount and frequency may need to be adjusted according to age and body weight. Do not exceed the maximum daily amount stated on the product label. If symptoms persist despite regular use over several days, stop self-treating and seek advice from a healthcare professional rather than increasing the dose further.

Use Prime Mixture Carminative before the expiry date printed on the bottle label and carton. Once opened, use within the period stated on the label, as the mixture may not remain stable indefinitely after the bottle has been opened.

Store Prime Mixture Carminative below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly capped when not in use, and store it out of the reach and sight of children. Do not use the mixture if it has changed colour, developed an unusual smell, or shows signs of separation that shaking does not correct.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Stop using Prime Mixture Carminative and seek medical advice if you notice a skin rash, swelling, or any other sign of an allergic reaction. See a doctor or pharmacist if digestive discomfort continues despite regular use over several days, or if you are unsure whether this product is suitable for you or your child.
