Liquid Paraffin belongs to the group of medicines called 'emollients' used to treat itchy, irritating dry skin problems associated with eczema and dermatitis.
Liquid Paraffin contains ‘Liquid paraffin’ that works by soothing, moisturising, and conditioning the skin. It also helps prevent moisture loss from the skin and makes it soft, supple, less rough, scaly, itchy, and irritated.
In some cases, Liquid Paraffin may cause redness, itching, rash, and irritation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.
Do not use Liquid Paraffin if you are allergic to any of its components. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid contact of Liquid Paraffin with eyes, nose or mouth; if contact occurs, rinse with water thoroughly.
