Special instructions

Reviews of many mothers who used the drug emphasize that with prolonged treatment with glycerin in the newborn, the level of sensitivity of the rectal receptors may decrease. As a result, the child will not be able to empty the intestines without suppositories.
Uncontrolled or improper use of glycerin suppositories for children causes diseases such as bowel obstruction, enterocolitis, and a violation of the natural defecation process. Too frequent administration of the drug in some cases leads to inhibition of healthy intestinal microflora and various problems with the digestive system.
Sometimes with an overdose of glycerin suppositories for children can cause adverse reactions in the form of burning and redness of the anus. With prolonged use of a medication, unpleasant sensations in the anus may occur.
It is strictly forbidden to carry out the procedure of cleansing the intestines with glycerin suppositories in children before collecting feces for laboratory analysis. The use of laxative suppositories distorts the result of the study.
