Product overview

About glycerin suppositories

When constipation needs solving today rather than this weekend: Care's adult-size 4g glycerin suppositories relieve occasional constipation predictably, typically acting within 15 minutes to an hour. Twelve suppositories per pack.

Why they work so fast

Oral laxatives take hours to days because they travel the long way round. A glycerin suppository works at the destination: glycerol gently stimulates the bowel and lubricates at the same time. It's the option pharmacists suggest when someone is uncomfortable now.

How to use

Moisten the suppository with a little water and insert pointed end first, then stay still for a few minutes while it works. Adult size — for adults and children over 12. Use only when needed, not as a daily habit.

Good to know

Constipation that keeps returning is a diet, fluids and medicines-review conversation — several common medicines cause it. A persistent change in bowel habit, pain or bleeding needs a GP, not a stronger laxative.
