Bells Liquid Paraffin BP for Constipation Relief - 150ml

Bells Liquid Paraffin BP provides gentle relief from constipation through its lubricating action in the digestive system. This oral medicine contains liquid paraffin that meets British Pharmacopoeia standards, ensuring consistent quality and purity for safe use.

You can use this medicine when you experience difficulty passing stools or infrequent bowel movements. The 150ml bottle provides multiple doses for ongoing treatment, and the clear liquid formulation makes it easy to measure accurate doses using the measuring cup provided.

How Liquid Paraffin Works in Your Digestive System

Liquid paraffin functions as a lubricant laxative by coating the intestinal walls and softening stool contents. This action reduces friction during bowel movements and helps waste material move more easily through your digestive tract.

The medicine typically takes 6 to 8 hours to produce effects, making it suitable for evening use when you want morning relief. Unlike stimulant laxatives, liquid paraffin works gently without causing cramping or urgent bowel movements in most people.

Who Can Benefit from This Constipation Treatment

This liquid paraffin constipation treatment suits adults and children over 3 years who experience occasional or chronic constipation. You may find it particularly helpful if you need a gentle approach to bowel movement regulation without harsh stimulant effects.

The medicine works well for various constipation causes, and you can explore additional constipation treatments if you need alternative approaches:

• Temporary constipation from dietary changes or travel
• Age-related digestive slowdown in elderly patients
• Medication-induced constipation from certain prescriptions
• Chronic constipation requiring ongoing gentle management

Why Choose Preservative-Free Liquid Paraffin

Bells Liquid Paraffin BP contains no added preservatives, reducing the risk of sensitivity reactions in people with delicate digestive systems. This formulation approach makes the medicine suitable for long-term use when medically appropriate.

The absence of artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives means you receive pure liquid paraffin without unnecessary additives. This clean formulation supports gentle treatment while maintaining the medicine's effectiveness and stability throughout its shelf life.

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

Store this medicine at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain its therapeutic properties. Keep the bottle tightly closed between uses and ensure the measuring cup remains clean and dry.

You should consult your pharmacist before using liquid paraffin if you have swallowing difficulties, inflammatory bowel conditions, or take medications that may interact with oral lubricants. The medicine requires careful dosing according to age and individual needs, so follow the package instructions precisely.
