Little Parachoc
As a stool softener/lubricant laxative, Parachoc will start to lubricate and soften the stools straight away but it won’t have the same immediate results as a stimulant laxative. Allow 3 to 4 days for the recommended dose to take effect. Adjust the dose up or down by 5mL increments according to the bowel movement type and frequency.
This is excess oil leakage and is a normal occurrence that indicates that the dosage is too high. Reduce the dose by 5mL and wait 3-4 days to see the full effects of the dose before adjusting again if necessary.
Note: Adjust up or down in 5mL increments, each time waiting 3-4 days for full effects to be seen before adjusting again if required.
Yes: Milk, Yoghurt (YOGO), Milo (room temp but not hot), add to ice cream.
We recommend that customers shake well before each use. In colder conditions, the product can become very thick and so needs to be shaken even more (same is true if it has been stored in the fridge).
The product contains 50% Liquid Paraffin which is an oil so the product needs to be shaken vigorously before use.
No. After administering Little Parachoc do not lie your child down for at least 2 hours.
There is an increased risk of aspiration (paraffin oil being regurgitated and inhaled into the lungs).
They may have difficulty breathing but if you have any concerns or suspect it has occurred, it is best to call the Poisons Information line.
As long as Parachoc is taken at least 2 hours prior to lying down or going to sleep, Parachoc can be taken at any time of the day. Parachoc should be given in a once daily dosage.
This product is free from nuts and wheat.
Parachoc does not contain animal or animal derived ingredients.
In short, if we minus out the ingredients that are expected to have zero carbs, for example Water, Paraffin etc. and consider ingredients such as the flavours to be pure carbs; 10mL of Parachoc may contain up to 0.00006g carbs.
The Parachoc product and packaging is compliant with regulations. We have included the “Keep out of Reach of Children” statement as a piece of advice to parents as the Chocolate Vanilla flavour can be very appealing to some children.
