Title: Liquid Paraffin (Mineral Oil) Oral Laxative – 100ml
Enhanced Description
Liquid paraffin, also known as mineral oil, is a gentle oral laxative used to relieve constipation. This 100ml bottle provides a safe and effective way to soften hard stools and promote regular bowel movements. Unlike some harsher laxatives, liquid paraffin works by lubricating the intestinal tract, allowing for easier passage of stool. It helps to clear the bowel of impacted fecal matter and accumulated waste. Results are typically seen within 6-8 hours of ingestion.
Important Information
- Mechanism of Action: Liquid paraffin acts as a lubricant, coating the stool and making it easier to pass. It does not stimulate the bowel directly.
- Dosage: Take 1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml) orally, twice daily, two hours after meals.
- Duration of Use: Do not use for longer than 5 days without consulting a healthcare professional. Prolonged use can interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
- Safety Precautions: Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women without medical advice. Consult a doctor before use if you have any underlying health conditions, particularly bowel obstructions, abdominal pain, or any other digestive issues.
This product is intended for occasional use only as a short-term relief for constipation. For persistent constipation, consult a doctor to determine the underlying cause. Always read the label before use.
