Children's Parachoc 400ml

Children’s Parachoc is for medical treatment of constipation.

Constipation causes the bowel wall to stretch and lose tone as a result limits the capacity for peristalsis to push out the stools.

Parachoc softens and lubricates the stools making them much easier to pass; over time this enables the bowel wall to recover its normal function.
