Melaxose (Lactulose, Vaseline, Liquid Paraffin)

Lactulose is broken down by colonic bacteria into short‑chain fatty acids, which create an osmotic gradient that draws water into the intestinal lumen. This increased water softens the stool, while Vaseline and liquid paraffin coat the fecal mass, providing lubrication that facilitates its transit.

The appropriate dose of Melaxose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, severity of constipation, and clinical response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.

Safety of Melaxose in pregnancy or while breastfeeding has not been fully established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using this product.

Melaxose combines an osmotic agent (lactulose) with lubricants (Vaseline and liquid paraffin), offering both water‑drawing and stool‑coating actions. Compared with single‑component laxatives, it may provide more comprehensive relief for hard or dry stools, but individual response varies and choice should be guided by clinical judgment.

Melaxose should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and keep it out of reach of children.

Melaxose is taken orally as directed by a healthcare professional. The liquid is usually measured with a calibrated dosing device and swallowed, preferably with water. It can be taken with or without food, but consistency with dosing times helps maintain effectiveness.

Serious risks include severe electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, allergic reactions such as rash or anaphylaxis, and persistent abdominal pain or rectal bleeding. Patients experiencing any of these symptoms should seek medical attention promptly.

Melaxose should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to lactulose, Vaseline, liquid paraffin, or any excipients in the formulation. It is also contraindicated in patients with intestinal obstruction, perforation, or severe inflammatory bowel disease without medical supervision.
