Paraffin Liquid Oil (Drinkable) - 200ml
Liquid paraffin is a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons. Its main use has been as a lubricant laxative but it is not recommended, because of its adverse effects. Nevertheless, it continues to be used for this purpose and is reportedly as effective as lactulose [1]. However, the erstwhile Committee on Safety of Medicines in the UK recommended the following precautions [2]:
•pack sizes to be limited to 160 ml;
•liquid paraffin to be used only for the symptomatic relief of constipation;
•prolonged use to be avoided and the package label to state “repeated use is not recommended”;
•to be contraindicated in children under 3 years of age.
Liquid paraffin has also been used in ointments, as an emollient in skin diseases, and as a lubricant in treating dry eyes.
