MINERAL OIL

About MINERAL OIL
Emollient, Laxative
Mechanism of Action of MINERAL OIL
Mineral oil coats the intestinal surface so that water isn't absorbed into the body. The extra water swells and softens the stool. This stimulates the normal forward movement of the intestines (peristalsis), which usually results in a bowel movement within 6 to 8 hours. The lubrication also eases passage of the stool.
