Gifrer Children's Glycerin Suppositories, available at our online pharmacy, are recommended for certain types of constipation and as preparation for certain medical procedures (rectoscopy).
Why Is Your Child Constipated?
Gifrer Children’s Glycerin Suppository is a rectal laxative. It is recommended for certain types of constipation and as preparation for certain medical procedures (such as a rectoscopy).
Osmotic laxatives improve bowel movements by drawing water from the surrounding tissues (intestinal lumen) and directing it into the intestine, thereby softening the stool. Some of these laxatives can cause an electrolyte imbalance because they remove nutrients and other substances along with the water, which increases thirst and dehydration. There are four main types of hyperosmotic laxatives: saline, lactulose, polymer, and glycerin.
Glycerin is available in suppository form and primarily has a hyperosmotic effect, but may also have a stimulant effect due to the sodium stearate used in its preparation.
Rectal administration. The suppository should be inserted into the anus. If necessary, you can dip the suppository in cold water to make insertion easier.

Glycerol 1.25 g. Excipients with known effects: Gelatin, purified water.
