Available as an oral emulsion taken once daily at bedtime or as a topical application for dry skin conditions, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Long-term oral use is discouraged as liquid paraffin can impair fat-soluble vitamin absorption, cause anal seepage, and carries aspiration pneumonia risk in elderly patients or those with dysphagia — bulk-forming or osmotic laxatives are preferred for chronic constipation.
