Mentho-Paraffinol Hasco (Liquid Paraffin)

Liquid paraffin is an inert oil that coats the lining of the gut, reducing surface tension and retaining water within the stool. This lubrication softens the fecal mass and promotes smooth transit through the colon, helping to relieve constipation without stimulating intestinal muscles.

The appropriate dose of Mentho-Paraffinol Hasco is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, severity of constipation, and overall health status. Patients should follow the specific instructions provided by their healthcare professional.

Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their healthcare provider before using Mentho-Paraffinol Hasco. While liquid paraffin is minimally absorbed, professional guidance ensures safety for both mother and child and helps determine if an alternative treatment is more appropriate.

Mentho-Paraffinol Hasco (liquid paraffin) is a lubricating laxative, differing from stimulant laxatives that increase intestinal motility. It is generally gentler, with fewer cramping side effects, but may have slower onset. Choice of laxative depends on patient needs, severity of constipation, and clinician preference.

Store Mentho-Paraffinol Hasco at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and store it in its original packaging to maintain product stability.

Mentho-Paraffinol Hasco is taken orally as a liquid. The prescribed dose is measured using a calibrated spoon or syringe and swallowed with a glass of water. It should be taken according to the healthcare professional’s instructions, typically before or after meals as advised.

Serious risks include aspiration leading to lipid pneumonia, especially in patients with swallowing difficulties, and rare allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis. Prolonged high‑dose use may cause electrolyte disturbances. Any signs of severe side effects should prompt immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to mineral oils, those with intestinal obstruction, or patients who cannot safely swallow liquids should avoid using Mentho-Paraffinol Hasco. Children should only use the product under pediatric guidance, and pregnant or lactating women should seek medical advice before use.
