Glycerine 1g Infant 12 Suppositories

Glycerine Suppositories 1g Infant are a laxative designed for the gentle and rapid relief of occasional constipation in infants, specifically those under one year of age. They work by drawing water into the rectum to soften the stool and stimulate bowel movement. 

How they work

• The active ingredient is glycerol.
• It is a hyperosmotic laxative, meaning it draws water from the body into the bowel.
• The softened stool and the mild irritant effect of the suppository promote a bowel movement, which usually occurs within 15 to 60 minutes after administration. 

How to use

• Consult a doctor: You should use these suppositories under the guidance of a pediatrician.
• Wash your hands: Always wash your hands with soap and water before and after administering.
• Prepare the suppository: If the suppository is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Moisten the tip with cold water to help with insertion.
• Position the infant: Have the infant lie on their side with their knees bent towards their chest.
• Insert the suppository: Gently push the suppository into the rectum, pointed end first. Use a finger to insert it about 2 cm deep.
• Keep it in place: Hold the infant's buttocks together for a few seconds and encourage them to remain lying down for about 15 minutes to ensure the suppository is retained.
• Wait for results: The suppository usually works within 15 minutes. If no bowel movement occurs, do not insert another one. Contact your doctor for advice. 

Important considerations

• For occasional use only: These suppositories are intended for short-term relief of occasional constipation.
• Not for chronic constipation: They should not be used for long-term or chronic constipation, as overuse can lead to laxative dependence.
• Dietary measures: Before using a laxative, it is recommended to address constipation with dietary changes, such as increasing fluids and fiber, and ensuring the infant gets enough physical activity.
• Not for oral use: The suppositories must be inserted rectally and should never be swallowed.
• Contraindications: Do not use if the infant has a known allergy to glycerol or if there is a suspected intestinal obstruction.
• Side effects: Possible side effects include abdominal cramps and irritation around the rectum.
