CARE Glycerin Suppositories BP Adult – 12 Pack

Product Type: Osmotic Laxative (Rectal)

Pack Size: 12 Suppositories (4.0g size)

Care Glycerin Suppositories are a fast-acting, reliable solution for the short-term relief of occasional constipation in adults. Formulated to British Pharmacopoeia (BP) standards, each suppository contains Glycerin, which acts as a local stimulant and osmotic agent. When inserted rectally, it draws water into the lower bowel, softening the stool and lubricating the rectal lining. This dual action stimulates the natural bowel muscles to contract, typically prompting a bowel movement within 15 to 60 minutes.

Product Characteristics:

  • Rapid Onset: Provides significantly faster relief than oral laxatives, which can take 8–12 hours to take effect.
  • Localized Action: Works directly at the site of the blockage, minimizing systemic side effects or abdominal cramping.
  • Lubricating Effect: Helps to ease the passage of hard, dry stools, reducing discomfort and straining during bowel movements.
  • Hygienic Packaging: Each 4g suppository is individually foil-wrapped to maintain its shape and ensure hygienic handling.
  • Physical Action: Acts physically rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream, making it a preferred choice for targeted relief.

Directions: Adults: Use one suppository as required. Instructions: Wash hands before and after use. Remove the foil wrapping. Moisten the tip with a little water and insert the pointed end high into the rectum. Try to retain the suppository for at least 15–20 minutes to ensure it dissolves and triggers a movement. Note: Not for use in children or infants (specific smaller sizes are available for them). Laxatives should not be used on a daily basis for long periods; if constipation persists, consult a doctor.

Trade Benefits: Glycerin suppositories are an "Emergency Care" staple in the digestive health category. They are a high-trust, pharmacist-recommended product for patients seeking immediate results. As part of the 'Care' value range, this 12-pack offers an excellent cost-per-dose ratio, ensuring it is a top-performing SKU in the "Laxative and Constipation" section.
