Liquid Paraffin Md Laxative 1 Liter

Description
Medical device indicated in case of occasional constipation, for those who cannot make an effort to expel faecal mass and after abdominal surgery in order to avoid the formation of particularly hard stools that could cause difficulty in defecation with consequent excessive abdominal thrusts that are potentially harmful.
Recommended when you need a softer stool mass and a faster flow along the intestinal loops or in the presence of diverticula.
Sella Liquid Paraffin coats the fecal material and creates a lipid film along the intestinal walls, slowing the physiological absorption of water. The water not absorbed by the intestine helps soften the stool. In addition, Sella Liquid Paraffin lubricates the stool, facilitating its passage inside the intestine, without irritating the mucosa.

How to use
