Glycerin (Glycerol) Suppositories Bp 4g Adult - 12 Suppositories

Glycerin (Glycerol) Suppositories BP 4g Adult are a rectal laxative used for the short-term relief of occasional constipation in adults.

Glycerin works locally in the rectum by softening stools and gently stimulating bowel movement, helping to produce relief usually within minutes of insertion. This makes glycerin suppositories particularly useful when rapid relief is required, or when oral laxatives are not suitable.

These suppositories are intended for occasional use only and are supplied in a convenient pack of 12 adult-strength suppositories.
