Uses & Benefits
Medical applications
Nausea
Liquid Paraffin is a highly refined mineral oil used primarily as a lubricant laxative to relieve constipation. It functions by softening the stool and facilitating its passage through the colon, thereby alleviating symptoms of occasional constipation. The active ingredient, liquid paraffin (NA), is inert and non-absorbable, exerting its effect locally within the gastrointestinal tract without systemic absorption.

This medication is indicated for short-term use in adults and children above a certain age, as directed by a healthcare professional. Liquid Paraffin should be administered orally, with dosage adjusted according to the severity of constipation and patient response. It is important to avoid prolonged use to prevent dependency and potential interference with the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K).
Common side effects may include abdominal discomfort, nausea, or leakage of oil from the rectum. Caution is advised in patients with existing lipid pneumonia risk, as aspiration of liquid paraffin can lead to serious pulmonary complications. Liquid Paraffin is contraindicated in cases of intestinal obstruction, acute abdominal conditions, or hypersensitivity to mineral oils. Patients should consult their healthcare provider before use, especially if pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications.
Proper use of Liquid Paraffin ensures effective relief of constipation with minimal adverse effects.
