Care Glycerin Adult 4g - 12 Suppositories - Brand May Vary

Glycerin Suppositories for Constipation Relief

 

You can rely on these glycerine suppositories to provide gentle relief from constipation when oral laxatives are not suitable or effective. Each suppository contains 4g of glycerin, which works by drawing water into the bowel to soften stools and stimulate natural bowel movements. This pack contains 12 suppositories, giving you a convenient supply for occasional constipation relief.

These rectal suppositories are designed for adult use and offer a direct approach to constipation management. You insert them rectally, where they dissolve and begin working locally in the lower bowel. The glycerin acts as both a lubricant and a mild stimulant, helping to ease the passage of stools without causing harsh cramping or urgency.

 

How Glycerin Works in Your Bowel

 

When you insert a glycerin suppository, it begins to dissolve at body temperature, releasing glycerin directly into your rectum. The glycerin draws water from surrounding tissues into the bowel through osmosis, which softens any hard stools present. This increased moisture content makes stools easier to pass naturally.

The glycerin also provides lubrication to the rectal area, reducing discomfort during bowel movements. You can typically expect results within 15-30 minutes of insertion, though this may vary depending on your individual response and the severity of your constipation.

 

Who Should Consider Rectal Suppositories

 

These glycerin suppositories are particularly suitable if you experience occasional constipation and prefer a localised treatment approach. They may be especially helpful if you have difficulty swallowing tablets or if oral laxatives have not provided adequate relief. You might also find them useful when dealing with constipation alongside other digestive concerns.

Consider using glycerine suppositories if you:

• Need quick relief from occasional constipation
• Prefer not to take oral medications
• Experience hard, difficult-to-pass stools
• Require a gentle, non-stimulant approach to bowel relief

 

Why Choose Preservative-Free Formulation

 

These suppositories are formulated without unnecessary preservatives, reducing the risk of local irritation or sensitivity reactions. The simple glycerin-based formulation makes them suitable for regular use when needed, without concerns about harsh chemical additives that might cause discomfort in the sensitive rectal area.

The preservative-free approach also makes these suppositories more suitable if you have sensitive skin or have experienced reactions to other rectal medications in the past. You can use them with confidence, knowing they contain only the active ingredient necessary for effective constipation relief.

 

Proper Storage and Handling Guidelines

 

You should store these suppositories in a cool, dry place below 25°C to prevent them from becoming too soft or melting. Keep them in their original packaging until ready to use, and ensure your hands are clean before handling. If a suppository becomes too soft to insert easily, you can place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to firm it up.

Always check the expiry date before use and dispose of any expired suppositories safely. Keep this medicine out of reach of children and follow the package instructions for proper insertion technique to ensure effective treatment.
