The mechanism of action of the drug

When introduced into the rectum, the suppository dissolves under the influence of body temperature. Glycerol - the active substance of the drug, envelops the intestinal walls, softens dense stool, facilitates their promotion. Stress decreases during bowel movements. The drug acts on the mucous membrane of the rectum and activates peristalsis.

Instructions for use

The optimal time for the introduction of a laxative is 15 minutes after a meal.
    Wash your hands; if possible, wear a rubber glove or fingertip.
    Release the suppository from the packaging. For easier administration, it can be slightly moistened with cool water. Cream and oil are not allowed.
    Lie down on your left side, bend your legs at the knees and slightly bring them to your stomach, relax.
    Carefully insert the suppository with its pointed end into the anus.
    To prevent the suppositories from slipping out, flatten your buttocks and lie down for 5-10 minutes.
    The drug completely dissolves after half an hour, but sometimes the desire to empty the intestine occurs earlier. The less often you use rectal suppositories, the faster they begin to act.
