What is Liquid Paraffin?
Liquid Paraffin, the active ingredient in Lansoÿl, is a lubricant laxative presented as a liquid oral preparation for oral use. It is employed to relieve occasional constipation by softening stool and easing its passage through the intestines. It is formulated to coat the intestinal mucosa, reducing water reabsorption and facilitating smoother bowel movements without systemic absorption.
GNH USA supplies Lansoÿl as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier, delivering the product to hospitals, pharmacies, health‑care providers and clinics across multiple regions worldwide.
