Lansoÿl (Liquid Paraffin)

Liquid paraffin acts locally in the gut by forming a thin, slippery film over the intestinal mucosa. This coating reduces water reabsorption from the fecal mass, increases stool moisture, and allows the stool to pass more readily through the colon without stimulating intestinal muscles.

The dose of Lansoÿl is individualized and should be set by a qualified healthcare professional. The prescriber will consider the patient’s age, severity of constipation, and any concurrent medical conditions when determining the appropriate amount and frequency.

Safety data for liquid paraffin in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should discuss the potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before starting Lansoÿl, as the decision will be based on clinical judgment.

To order Lansoÿl, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Lansoÿl (liquid paraffin) is a lubricant laxative, which works by softening stool, unlike stimulant laxatives that increase intestinal motility. It is generally gentler and less likely to cause cramping, making it suitable for short‑term use, whereas stimulant agents may be preferred for rapid evacuation.

Lansoÿl should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protect it from direct sunlight, moisture and excessive heat to maintain product stability and prevent degradation.

Lansoÿl is taken orally as a liquid. The prescribed dose is measured with a calibrated spoon or syringe, then swallowed directly or mixed with a small amount of water or food if needed. It should be taken with a full glass of water to aid distribution in the gastrointestinal tract.

Serious but rare risks include anal fissures, allergic reactions such as rash or swelling, and pulmonary aspiration if the liquid is inhaled during administration. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic response.

Lansoÿl should be avoided in individuals with known intestinal obstruction, perforated bowel, or severe inflammatory bowel disease. It is also contraindicated in patients who have demonstrated hypersensitivity to liquid paraffin or any of the product’s excipients.
