Indications & Uses
Glycerin suppository is used to relieve occasional constipation.
Pharmacology
Glycerin is a hyperosmotic laxative that is given rectally. It usually produces a bowel movement within 15 minutes to 1 hour. Hyperosmotic laxatives work by drawing water into the bowel from the surrounding tissues. That makes the stool mass softer and increases bowel action. Glycerin and similar products are used when someone needs fast, predictable relief of occasional constipation.
