When should CRISTAL Glycerin Suppositories for Infants be used?

What is constipation in babies?
First of all, keep in mind that a baby who has a bowel movement once a day—or even once every two days—is not constipated. Constipation is only diagnosed when stools are infrequent (less than once every four days), hard, dry (pellet-like), and passed with difficulty. Also, keep in mind that this digestive issue is common in newborns under 30 days old. Bottle-fed infants aren’t the only ones affected. In fact, 10 to 20% of breastfed babies also experience bowel movement issues.

Cristal Infant Suppositories is a glycerin-based medication intended to treatconstipation in infants. Cristal Glycerin Suppositories for Infants is a stimulant laxative; it is recommended for certain types of constipation and as preparation for certain medical procedures (rectoscopy).   

For infants only.

Cristal laxative suppositories for children are more suitable for children 36 months and older.

Glycerin suppositories cause rapid evacuation of the rectosigmoid colon by triggering the defecation reflex. This occurs within 5 to 30 minutes after administration. Glycerin stimulates peristaltic movements and reduces water reabsorption due to its osmotic and hygroscopic properties. It also has a local irritant effect that contributes to the defecation reflex.
