Liquin Liquid belongs to the group of medicines called 'laxatives' used to treat constipation in conditions like piles, fistula, fissures, pre/post-operative conditions, elderly and bed-ridden patients. Constipation refers to infrequent bowel movements in which the stools are often dry, painful, and hard to pass.
Liquin Liquid consists of liquid paraffin, which works by lubricating or softening the faeces and coating the intestine or bowel with an oil film. Thus, Liquin Liquid reduces the pain caused by anorectal diseases like piles, fistula, or fissures, thereby relieving constipation.
You are advised to take Liquin Liquid for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you, depending on your medical condition. You may experience certain common side effects such as diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, pain, or cramps in some cases. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Do not take Liquin Liquid for more than a week as it might cause dependency on Liquin Liquid for a bowel movement. Talk to your doctor if you notice any sudden changes in bowel habits that persist for over 2 weeks. Consult your doctor before taking Liquin Liquid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Liquin Liquid should not be given to children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.
