Description
Paragol N with the active ingredient paraffin oil is a laxative that softens the stool, makes it slippery and stimulates intestinal movement. All of this leads to improved and normal bowel movements. It is absolutely essential that you drink plenty of fluids when using Paragol N.
Paragol N is used to treat occasional constipation. Under no circumstances should a treatment last more than 10 days and should only be carried out after a change in diet to predominantly fiber-containing food components (vegetables, fruits) has failed.
It can also be used in the short term for diseases that require easier bowel movements (e.g. haemorrhoids, intestinal diseases).
