Medication name: Glycelax Glycerol 700 mg Suppository
\nDrug class: Hyperosmotic laxative<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to relieve occasional constipation in infants and young children.
\nIt helps soften hard stools and gently stimulates bowel movement, providing quick and comfortable relief.
\nIt is particularly useful when oral laxatives are not appropriate or tolerated.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, glycerol (glycerin), acts locally in the rectum as a mild osmotic agent and lubricant.
\nIt draws water into the stool and the surrounding intestinal tissues, softening the stool and stimulating natural bowel contractions.
\nThis helps restore normal bowel movement, usually within 15 to 30 minutes after use.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nFor infants and children, insert one suppository (700 mg) into the rectum as needed, preferably in the morning.
\nRemove the suppository from its wrapper, moisten it with a little water, and gently insert the pointed end first into the rectum.
\nEncourage the child to remain lying on their side for a few minutes to help retain the suppository.
\nDo not use more than once daily unless prescribed by a doctor.
\nEach suppository is for single use only.<\/p>\n
Side effects:
\nGlycelax is generally safe and well tolerated.
\nOccasionally, mild rectal irritation, burning sensation, or abdominal discomfort may occur.
\nIf your child experiences persistent pain, diarrhea, or rectal bleeding, stop using the product and consult a doctor.<\/p>\n
Precautions:
\nDo not use if the child has rectal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, or inflammatory bowel disease.
\nAvoid long-term or repeated use without medical advice, as this may reduce natural bowel activity.
\nConsult a doctor if constipation persists for more than a few days.
\nFor rectal use only \u2014 do not swallow.<\/p>\n
Storage:
\nStore below 25 \u00b0C in a dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight.
\nKeep out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
