DESCRIPTION

Glycerine suppository. This medicine is used in certain cases of constipation and as a preparation for endoscopic examinations of the rectum.

Precautions for use :

• Keep out of the reach and sight of children.
• This medicine must be kept away from heat.
• Read the leaflet carefully before use.

Take care :

• If your child has a bowel disease called ulcerative colitis;
• If your child has pain in the anus (anal fissure, haemorrhoidal crisis).

In these situations, it is preferable to avoid using this medicine.

The use of rectal laxatives in children should be exceptional: the risk of impairing the normal functioning of the defecation reflex should be taken into account.

Contraindications :

Allergy (hypersensitivity) to glycerol or any of the other ingredients.

USE ADVICE

Administer rectally. The suppository can be soaked in cold water to make it easier to insert.

Children aged 2 to 6 years : the usual dose is 1 suppository 5 to 30 minutes before the chosen time for a bowel movement.

Children aged over 6 : the usual dose is 1 suppository 5 to 30 minutes before the chosen time for a bowel movement. This dose may be repeated once in the next half-hour or hour if your child is still constipated.

On average, constipation treatment should not exceed 10 days.
