Paraffin is a drug commonly used to treat constipation. It is a paraffin wax commonly used in liquid form for rectal enemas. Paraffin works by softening feces in the large intestine, thereby facilitating bowel movements. In Hong Kong, Paraffin can be purchased at pharmacies, but you should seek medical advice before use. When using Paraffin, be sure to follow your doctor or pharmacist's recommendations to avoid adverse reactions. Common side effects include diarrhea and abdominal discomfort. If serious adverse reactions occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical assistance. Avoid long-term or excessive use of Paraffin as it may cause other problems. Overall, Paraffin is an effective treatment for constipation, but should be used under the guidance of a medical professional.
HOW TO USE: PARAFFIN is a soft laxative used to treat constipation, usually as an oral solution or ointment. Before taking, you should carefully read the instructions on the product label. It is recommended to take it before going to bed to facilitate bowel movements in the morning. Drink enough water while taking PARAFFIN to help soften stools and facilitate bowel movements. Avoid using it with calcium products as it may affect the efficacy of the medicine.
Dosing Guidelines: For adults, the recommended starting dose is 15 ml of PARAFFIN liquid taken orally daily. Depending on individual needs and response, dosage may be adjusted from 10 to 30 ml daily. For children, dosage should be based on age and physician advice, usually starting at 5 ml daily. Dosage adjustments in children should be done under the supervision of a medical professional.
