Gifrer Adult Glycerin Suppositories for Constipation /10

These suppositories are indicated forconstipationor toprepare for a rectal endoscopy.

Terminal or distal constipation: difficulty with bowel movements

It is our rectum—the final section of the intestine before the anus—that sends a signal to the brain indicating it is time to have a bowel movement. As fecal matter enters the rectum, it expands, and this expansion is signaled to the central nervous system. Then, when we’re on the toilet, the brain signals the anal canal to relax, allowing stool to pass. However, this mechanism does not always function properly, and when it malfunctions, it is referred to as terminal constipation (because it occurs at the end of the digestive process).

Description of Gifrer Adult Glycerin Suppository for Constipation /10

Glycerin belongs to a group of medications called laxatives. Glycerin is used in the form of suppositories to relieve occasional constipation. The suppositories work by releasing their active ingredients directly into the intestine, where they are absorbed by the intestinal lining. They soften the stool andretain water in the intestines. These actions stimulate contractions of the colon muscles and promote faster bowel movements. They often work faster than oral solutions.

Directions for Use and Dosage

For adults only. Rectal use. The suppository should be inserted into the anus. If necessary, you can dip the suppository in cold water to make insertion easier. 

  • 1 suppository 5 to 30 minutes before the desired time of bowel movement; repeat within the next half-hour or hour in cases of stubborn constipation.
  • Treatment for constipation should not, on average, exceed 10 days.

Our advice and expert opinions from pharmacists

Relax and Avoid Significant Stress
Stress can also cause constipation. According to specialists, when we experience stress (fear, anxiety, sadness, irritability, etc.), our intestines contract. This contraction is actually a natural mechanism that occurs during a “fight-or-flight” response. This makes bowel movements more difficult. Furthermore, when we’re stressed, we tend to eat foods that are too rich in an attempt to cope with the stress, which makes digestion even more difficult.
It is therefore essential to relax if you feel that stress is the cause of your constipation. Experts recommend laughter, as it can help combat constipation in two ways: first, laughter relieves stress; and second, it promotes digestion by acting like a massage for the intestines.

Gifrer Adult Glycerin Suppositories: The Solution for Constipation and Endoscopic Preparation

Gifrer Adult Glycerin Suppositories are specially designed to treat constipation and effectively prepare the rectum for an endoscopic exam. Discover how this product can help you overcome these issues.

Indications:

Gifrer Adult Glycerin Suppositories are indicated in the following cases:

  • Constipation: Constipation is characterized by infrequent, difficult, and sometimes painful bowel movements. Glycerin suppositories help stimulate the rectum and promote bowel movements.

  • Preparation for a Rectal Endoscopy: These suppositories are also used to prepare the rectum for endoscopic examinations, such as rectoscopy or sigmoidoscopy. Effective emptying of the rectum is essential to allow for a clear view of the intestinal mucosa.

Mechanism of Action:

Gifrer Adult Glycerin Suppositories contain glycerin, a hyperosmotic agent. Glycerin draws water into the rectum, which softens the stool and stimulates intestinal contractions. This facilitates bowel movements and relieves constipation.

Directions for Use:

  • Insert one suppository into the rectum following the instructions provided.
  • It is best to administer the suppository in the morning, as the effect may occur quickly.
  • Consult your healthcare provider to determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment.

Precautions and Warnings:

  • Do not use this product excessively, as this may cause rectal irritation.
  • In case of severe abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or any other adverse reaction, consult a healthcare professional immediately.

Gifrer Adult Glycerin Suppositories are an effective option for relieving constipation and preparing the rectum for endoscopic examinations. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s advice and take appropriate precautions to ensure safe and effective use.
