Mentholaxin (Liquid Paraffin)

Liquid paraffin remains largely unabsorbed after oral administration. It spreads along the gastrointestinal tract, forming an oily film that reduces surface tension and traps water in the lumen. This increases stool bulk and softness, promoting normal peristaltic activity and facilitating smooth evacuation of feces.

The appropriate dose of Mentholaxin is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the individual’s age, weight, severity of constipation, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose without medical guidance.

Safety data for liquid paraffin in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using Mentholaxin to weigh potential benefits against any possible risks.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Mentholaxin product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity.

Mentholaxin (liquid paraffin) is a lubricant laxative, which differs from stimulant laxatives that increase intestinal motility. It is generally gentler, causing fewer cramps, and is suitable for long‑term use under medical supervision. However, it may interact with the absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins, a consideration less common with stimulant agents.

Mentholaxin should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep the product away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the bottle is tightly closed after each use to maintain product integrity.

Mentholaxin is taken orally as a liquid. The prescribed amount is measured with a calibrated dosing device or spoon and swallowed with a glass of water. It is usually taken with meals or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Serious risks, though rare, include allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or difficulty breathing, severe abdominal pain, and rectal bleeding. If any of these symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.

Mentholaxin should be avoided by individuals with known or suspected bowel obstruction, severe abdominal pain of unknown cause, or hypersensitivity to liquid paraffin. It is also contraindicated in patients who have been advised against lubricant laxatives by their physician.
