Bell's Liquid Paraffin BP - 150ml (Pack of 2)

Buy Liquid Paraffin 

Liquid Paraffin is a treatment that provides you with temporary relief from constipation. 

It makes your poo easier to pass, ideal for those who find that their poo is larger or harder when they have constipation.    

How Liquid Paraffin works

Liquid Paraffin helps to ease constipation by acting as a lubricant, helping poo to move through your bowel so you can pass it. 

It also helps to soften hard or lumpy poo, making it easier and more comfortable to pass. This is especially useful in children, who can make constipation worse by trying not to go to the toilet as they find passing hard poo painful or uncomfortable.
