Gifrer 10 Children’s Glycerin Suppositories for Constipation are indicated in the following situations:

  • Low-Rectum Constipation in Children: Constipation is a common problem in children, characterized by infrequent, painful, or difficult bowel movements. These glycerin suppositories are designed to stimulate the rectum and facilitate bowel movements, thereby relieving mild constipation.

  • It is recommended to administer the suppository in the morning, as the effect may occur quickly.
  • Follow the dosage and treatment duration recommendations provided by the healthcare professional.

Our Tips and Expert Advice from Pharmacists

What should you do if your child is constipated?

To reduce episodes of constipation, it is usually enough to improve your child’s lifestyle and establish good habits.

  • For a child, you can balance their diet by giving them more fiber (green vegetables, raw vegetables, fruits, whole grains, for example) and limiting starchy foods (rice, potatoes, tapioca, etc.), which should be cooked thoroughly. Certain soaked dried fruits, such as prunes, may help promote bowel movements.
  • Make sure they drink regularly throughout the day, especially in the summer.
  • Make sure they stay active during the day. A lack of physical activity contributes to constipation.

Gifrer 10 Glycerin Suppositories for Children’s Constipation are an effective option for treating constipation in children and for preparing the rectum for rectoscopic exams. It is essential to follow the healthcare professional’s advice and take appropriate precautions to ensure safe and effective use.
