APPLICATIONS	Liquid paraffin is a type of medicine called a laxative. It works by softening and lubricating the stools. This helps the stools to move more easily through the bowel. This medicine relieves constipation, making stools easier to pass. This means it can also be used to reduce pain associated with passing stools in people with conditions affecting the anus, such as piles (haemorrhoids) or anal fissure. It is not often used, as the liquid paraffin can sometimes leak from the bottom.
