How It Works
Liquid paraffin coats the intestinal walls and stool with a waterproof film. This lubricating action softens the stool and prevents water absorption from the intestines, making the stool easier to pass. It also helps to ease the passage of hard stools through the rectum.
Dosage
The typical adult dose is 15-45 ml taken orally at bedtime. For children, the dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider based on age and weight. Always follow the instructions on the product label or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include nausea, abdominal discomfort, and anal leakage of oil. More serious side effects, though rare, can include lipid pneumonia if aspirated. If you experience severe abdominal pain or rectal bleeding, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
Warning
Do not use for more than one week without consulting a healthcare provider. Avoid use if you have difficulty swallowing, as it may lead to aspiration. Not recommended for long-term use due to potential interference with nutrient absorption. Consult a doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Interaction
- Fat-soluble vitamins (may reduce absorption)
- Oral medications (may affect absorption)
- Stool softeners (may increase laxative effect)
