Glycerin

Indications

Glycerin suppository is used for the relief of occasional constipation.

Pharmacology

Glycerin is a hyperosmotic laxative, given rectally, which usually produces a bowel movement within 15 minutes to 1 hour. Hyperosmotic laxatives encourage bowel movements by drawing water into the bowel from surrounding tissues. This produces a softer stool mass and increases bowel action. These products are used for fast, predictable relief of occasional constipation.

Children (2 to 6 years): Only 1 Glycerin 1.15 Suppository per day or as directed by the physician.

Insert suppository well up into the rectum. Suppository does not need to melt completely to produce laxative action.
