Product overview
Care Glycerin Suppositories are formulated with Glycerol, a highly effective ingredient that works in two distinct ways. Firstly, it acts as a mild irritant to stimulate the bowel muscles. Secondly, it acts as a hyperosmotic laxative, drawing water into the lower bowel to soften hardened stools and provide vital lubrication for a comfortable passage. Whether you're focused on relieving acute constipation quickly or need a dependable solution that won't cause the stomach cramps associated with some oral stimulant laxatives, this product is designed to offer a simple and fast-acting solution.
Each dose provides a powerful, locally acting treatment, with a formula created for rapid symptom relief, targeted action, and gentle lubrication.
Key highlights
- Extremely fast-acting, typically producing results in 15 to 60 minutes
- Bypasses the stomach entirely, preventing gastric irritation
- Helps to lubricate and soften hard stools for comfortable relief
- Handy 12-pack ensures you have a reliable remedy when you need it

Frequently asked questions
How fast do glycerin suppositories work?
They are designed for rapid relief. Once inserted, a glycerin suppository typically stimulates a bowel movement within 15 to 60 minutes. It is highly recommended to stay close to a toilet after insertion.
Can I use these for my child?
No. This 4g size is specifically formulated and sized for adults and the elderly. If your child is suffering from constipation, you should ask your pharmacist for children's (1g) or infants' (2g) sizes, or consult a doctor.
Are these suppositories meant to be swallowed?
Absolutely not. Suppositories are for rectal use only. They must never be swallowed. If one is accidentally swallowed, seek immediate medical advice.
Can I use them every day?
No, you should not use laxatives continuously for an extended period without consulting a doctor. Frequent, prolonged use can make your bowel lazy and dependent on them to function.
