Liquid Paraffin x 150ml

Liquid Paraffin x 150ml

Liquid Paraffin acts by softening and lubricating the faeces. The faeces can then move more easily through the bowel. By doing this it relieves constipation and reduces the pain of some conditions such as piles (haemorrhoids). It is not as good as some of the other medicines for the same problems as the liquid paraffin can sometimes cause anal leakage (liquid paraffin leaking from the bottom).

To be taken 2-3 hours before going to bed.

We would advise that you see a doctor regarding your constipation if this continues long-term or you require use of laxatives on a regular basis, as there may be an underlying cause that needs to be investigated.
