Ordergifrer kerosene oil 250ml laxative drinkable solution used as a symptomatic treatment for constipation.
Kerosene oil is an oral laxative. Cooper kerosene oil is recommended for occasional constipation.
How does kerosene oil work to treat constipation?
Unlike other edible oils, kerosene oil does not pass through the digestive mucosa. When ingested, it lines the mucous membrane of the colon and rectum, then acts as a lubricant to facilitate stool elimination. It also softens fecal matter, making it easier to pass. Its mode of action is mechanical, makingstool elimination less painful in cases of anal fissure, for example.
GIFRER Paraffin Oil is recommended for the symptomatic treatment of constipation.
Preferably taken between meals. If taken in the evening, it is advisable not to go to bed within 2 hours of taking it (see "Warnings and Precautions for Use"), and to take into account the time it takes to take effect (6-8 hours).
