1. What is Hodernal and what is it used for
Hodernal belongs to a group of medications called stool softeners,
These medications work by coating the stool with a layer that keeps it soft and lubricated, making it easier to pass through the intestine and subsequent evacuation.
Hodernal is indicated for the symptomatic relief of occasional constipation in adults and children over 6 years of age.
You should consult a doctor if no bowel movement occurs after 72 hours following the maximum daily administration or if symptoms worsen or do not improve after 6 days.
2. What you need to know before taking Hodernal
Do not takeHodernal
- If you are allergic to liquid paraffin or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
- If you have intestinal obstruction, paralytic ileus (a type of intestinal obstruction where intestinal movements stop), fecal impaction, and in all situations where gastrointestinal transit is difficult or impaired.
- Inflammatory bowel diseases.
- If you have abdominal pain of unknown origin.
- If you have pathologies where it is dangerous to increase intestinal peristalsis (propulsive movements), such as appendicitis or its symptoms (nausea, vomiting, stomach pain or lower abdominal pain, abdominal cramps) or intestinal perforation.
- Diarrhea, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing).
- Undiagnosed intestinal or rectal bleeding.
- Colostomy and ileostomy (surgical procedures where one end of the colon - colostomy - or ileum - ileostomy - is removed through the abdominal wall).
- Children under 6 years of age.
Warnings and Precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Hodernal.
If symptoms worsen or persist for more than 6 days, the clinical situation should be evaluated. Long-term treatments can produce tolerance to the laxative effect (a situation where the body gets used to a medication, so a larger amount of it is needed) and dependence to achieve evacuation.
Bedridden, elderly, mentally ill, or disabled patients should consult their doctor before taking this medication due to the risk of aspirating oil droplets, which could lead to lipoid pneumonia (lung inflammation caused by aspirating exogenous lipids).
This medication should not be taken while lying down, especially in small children and bedridden patients.
Before starting treatment, you should be properly hydrated, as prolonged use of laxatives can cause electrolyte imbalance and hypokalemia (potassium deficiency).
If you are going to have blood tests, inform your doctor that you are taking this medication, as blood glucose levels may increase after prolonged administration of laxatives.
You should use this medication with caution if you experience sudden changes in bowel habits that persist for more than 2 weeks.
Children and Adolescents
Do not administer to children under 6 years of age.
It should be administered with caution to children between 6 and 12 years of age due to the risk of aspiration.
Other Medications and Hodernal
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.
It should not be administered within 2 hours before or after taking another medication.
This medication should not be administered in combination with:
- oral anticoagulants (medications that make blood take longer to clot) derived from coumarin or indandione
- digitalis glycosides (a group of medications used to treat heart failure)
- estrogens (a type of female hormone)
- oral contraceptives
- docusate sodium (a medication used for constipation)
- fat-soluble vitamins (vitamin A, D, E, and K), calcium, phosphorus, and potassium or potassium supplements
Taking Hodernal with Food and Drinks

Hodernal should not be administered to children under 6 years of age due to the lack of safety and efficacy data.

During treatment, you should drink plenty of fluids (up to 2 liters daily) to facilitate softening of the stool.
If symptoms worsen, if no bowel movement occurs after 72 hours following the maximum daily administration, or if symptoms persist after 6 days of treatment, inform your doctor or pharmacist.
If You Take More Hodernal Than You Should
If you take more Hodernal than recommended, it may cause anal elimination of paraffin with loss of electrolytes, cramps, abdominal spasms, and muscle weakness.
