Glycerol 4 g adult suppositories are mild, fast‑acting rectal laxatives used for short‑term relief of occasional constipation and for emptying the bowels when rapid, local action is needed.

Key features

• Contains 4 g glycerol (glycerin) per suppository, which draws water into the stool and stimulates bowel movement.
• Provides quick relief, usually triggering a bowel movement within about 15–60 minutes of insertion.
• For rectal use only, typically one moistened suppository inserted into the back passage as needed.
• Supplied as a convenient pack of 12 suppositories, suitable for adults and older children (over 12 years).
• Intended for occasional, short‑term use only; users should seek medical advice if constipation persists beyond a few days.
