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.

 

Directions

Always take Liquid Paraffin exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor / Chemist4U pharmacist has told you. 

Children between 3-12 years old: Take 1-4 x 5ml (5-20ml)

Children over 12 years old and adults: Take 2-6 x 5ml (10-30ml)

A difficult product to source, but necessary for disabled sufferers such as myself. An old-fashioned remedy that has stood the passage of time.
