CASTOR OIL 70ML

Castor oil has been used orally to relieve constipation or to evacuate the bowel before intestinal surgery.^[8] The laxative effect of castor oil is attributed to ricinoleic acid, which is produced by hydrolysis in the small intestine.^[8] Use of castor oil for simple constipation is medically discouraged because it may cause violent diarrhea.^[8]

^{Castor oil and its derivatives are used in the manufacturing of soaps, lubricants, hydraulic and brake fluids, paints, dyes, coatings, inks, cold-resistant plastics, waxes and polishes, nylon, and perfumes.[3]}
