Description
Oily lubricant laxative indicated:
-in case of occasional constipation;
-for those who cannot strain to expel fecal matter.
-after abdominal surgery to prevent the formation of particularly hard stools that could cause difficulty in defecation with consequent excessive and potentially harmful abdominal straining.
Sella Liquid Paraffin coats the fecal matter and creates a lipid film along the intestinal walls, slowing down the physiological absorption of water.
The water not absorbed by the intestine helps to soften the stool. In addition, Sella Liquid Paraffin lubricates the stool, facilitating its passage through the intestine, without irritating the mucosa.

Instructions for use
The product is recommended when softer fecal matter and its faster passage through the intestinal loops are needed, or in the presence of diverticula.
It is particularly suitable for subjects for whom excessive straining during defecation is not recommended (for example, in cases of hernia, hypertension, vascular disorders of the anus or rectum, presence of hemorrhoids, recent abdominal, intestinal, or rectal surgery).
Do not use the product in case of:
-hypersensitivity (allergy) to the component;
-nausea, vomiting, acute or unknown abdominal pain;
-intestinal obstruction or stenosis;
-gastrointestinal disorders such as appendicitis, ulcerative colitis, rectal bleeding of unknown origin;
-acute hemorrhoidal crisis with pain and bleeding;
-severe dehydration;
-subjects with difficulty swallowing or with pathologies (e.g., hiatal hernia) or conditions (e.g., debilitated bedridden patients) that carry a risk of regurgitation;
-colostomy/ileostomy;
-concomitant use of other laxatives or stool softeners.
Note: always consult a doctor or pharmacist if symptoms persist.
Take the product during or after meals, preferably in the evening and at least one hour before going to bed.
From 6 to 11 years: 2-3 teaspoons per day, in a single administration.
From 12 years: 2-3 tablespoons per day, in a single administration.

Components
Liquid paraffin.

Warnings
Laxative products should be used as infrequently as possible and for no more than seven days. A diet rich in liquids promotes the effect of the product. Keep out of reach and sight of children.
Possible side effects: metabolic and nutritional disorders. Liquid paraffin can interfere with the absorption of fat-soluble substances, such as vitamins A, D, E, K, especially following prolonged use of the product. Isolated cramp-like pains or abdominal colic, more frequent in cases of severe constipation. Rectal leakage (loss, dripping) of paraffin with consequent anal irritation and itching, rectal bleeding, especially following prolonged use of the product. Lipoid pneumonia and oil embolism, due to accidental inhalation of the product.
Overdose and abuse: abuse of laxative preparations (frequent or prolonged use or with excessive doses) can cause abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea with consequent loss of water, mineral salts (especially potassium) and other essential nutrients. Fluid and electrolyte losses must be replaced. Electrolyte imbalances are characterized by the following symptoms: thirst, vomiting, weakness, edema, bone pain (osteomalacia) and hypoalbuminemia. In the most severe cases, dehydration or hypokalemia may occur, which can lead to cardiac or neuromuscular dysfunction, especially in case of concomitant treatment with cardiac glycosides, diuretics or corticosteroids. If episodes of constipation occur repeatedly, a doctor should be consulted.
