GIFRER CHILDREN'S GLYCERIN SUPPOSITORY, BOX OF 10 

Why Is Your Child Constipated?

  • First and foremost, it’s important to reassure concerned parents: constipation in children is common and, in most cases, not serious. In fact, the factors that cause it are very similar to those that affect adults.
  • It may be a side effect of medication
  • Environmental factors: Just like us, children sometimes go through periods of stress.
  • We all know how children tend to eat candy without limit. Well, you should know that sweets aren’t just bad for teeth—they’re also bad for digestion. So it’s important to pay attention to their diet.
  • Sometimes, children are also afraid to use the restroom at school and hold it in. This can disrupt their bowel movements and lead to constipation.

Description: Gifrer Children’s Glycerin Suppository

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.

Directions for Use: Gifrer Children’s Glycerin Suppository

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

Dosage: 

  • If your child is constipated: The usual dose is 1 to 2 suppositories per day to achieve one bowel movement per day. 
  • If your child is preparing for a rectal exam: The usual dose is 1 suppository, to be used 5 to 30 minutes before the exam. Treatment for constipation should not, on average, exceed 10 days.

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

Precautions for Use

  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Never use this medication in the following cases: if your child is allergic to glycerol or any of the other ingredients listed in the “Additional Information” section, if your child has obstructive bowel disease, given the laxative effect of the medication, if your child has abdominal pain of unknown cause or an inflammatory condition (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, etc.).
