Medication name: Glycelax Glycerol 2800 mg Suppository
\nDrug class: Hyperosmotic laxative<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to relieve occasional constipation and promote gentle bowel movements.
\nIt is particularly useful when rapid relief is needed or when oral laxatives are not suitable.
\nThe suppository works locally in the rectum to help soften stool and stimulate natural bowel movement.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, glycerol (also known as glycerin), acts as a mild osmotic agent.
\nWhen inserted into the rectum, it draws water into the stool and lubricates the intestinal lining.
\nThis softens hardened stool and gently stimulates bowel contractions, making it easier to pass without straining.
\nRelief typically occurs within 15 to 30 minutes after use.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nFor adults and adolescents, insert one suppository (2800 mg) into the rectum as needed, preferably in the morning.
\nRemove the suppository from its wrapper, moisten it with a little water, and insert the pointed end first into the rectum.
\nLie on your side and remain still for a few minutes to help the suppository stay in place.
\nDo not use more than once daily unless directed by a doctor.
\nEach suppository is for single use only.<\/p>\n
Side effects:
\nGlycelax is generally well tolerated.
\nOccasionally, mild irritation, cramping, or a burning sensation in the rectum may occur.
\nOveruse may cause diarrhea or electrolyte imbalance.
\nSeek medical advice if you experience persistent discomfort or bleeding.<\/p>\n
Precautions:
\nDo not use if you have rectal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, severe abdominal pain, or inflammation of the bowel.
\nConsult a doctor before use if constipation persists for more than a few days.
\nAvoid long-term or excessive use, as it may lead to dependency or reduced bowel sensitivity.
\nSafe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding under medical supervision.
\nFor rectal use only \u2014 do not swallow.<\/p>\n
Storage:
\nStore below 25 \u00b0C, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
\nKeep out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
