How It Works

Liquid paraffin works by coating the intestinal walls and stool, making it easier for waste to pass through the digestive system. When applied to the skin, it forms a barrier that helps lock in moisture and protect against environmental factors.

Dosage

For constipation relief, adults typically take 15-45ml orally. For external use, apply as needed or as directed by a healthcare professional. Always follow the recommended dosage on the product label or as prescribed by your doctor.

Side Effects

While generally safe, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as anal leakage, stomach cramps, or nausea. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider.

Warning

Do not use it if you have difficulty swallowing, bowel obstruction, or appendicitis. Avoid prolonged use without medical supervision as it may lead to dependence on bowel movements.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Consult a healthcare provider before using Galway’s Pure Liquid Paraffin during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
