Ingredients and Materials

Active ingredient: Liquid paraffin (mineral oil). The formulation uses pharmaceutical-grade liquid paraffin that acts as a lubricant laxative and topical emollient.

Excipients & packaging: Simple stabilisers where required. Supplied in a 100ml HDPE bottle with tamper-evident cap for safe, hygienic storage.

How to Use

Important: Always follow the product label or your healthcare professional’s instructions.

Oral (laxative) use: Use only as directed on the pack or by your clinician. Liquid paraffin is used as a lubricant laxative to soften stools and ease bowel movements. Consult a pharmacist or doctor for appropriate dosing for adults and children.

Topical (skin) use: Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin and gently rub in. Use as needed to relieve dryness, rough patches or to seal in moisture after bathing. Avoid contact with eyes.

Who It’s For

Alpha Liquid Paraffin is intended for adults and children when recommended by a healthcare professional. It is useful for people seeking temporary constipation relief or for those needing a reliable emollient for very dry skin. Not recommended for infants or for persons with swallowing difficulties unless under medical supervision.

Caution & Storage

Cautions: Do not use if you have difficulty swallowing or are at risk of aspiration — aspirated oil can cause lipoid pneumonia. Prolonged use may affect absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). If pregnant, breastfeeding or treating young children, consult a healthcare professional before use. Keep away from open flames and heat sources. For external use, avoid contact with eyes.

Side effects & interactions: Rare adverse effects include abdominal discomfort, nausea or oily leakage from the rectum. If symptoms persist or worsen, stop use and seek medical advice.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 25–30°C. Keep the bottle tightly closed and out of reach of children. Do not use past the expiry date.
