This pack includes 4 boxes, each with 6 suppositories, making it easy to always have an effective solution on hand when it's needed most. Its glycerin formula acts locally to soften stools and stimulate bowel movement naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does liquid glycerin work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlycerin is an osmotic ingredient that draws water into the colon. When the suppository is inserted, the glycerin dissolves and increases the water content in the stools, softening them and making them easier to expel. In addition, this process gently stimulates intestinal contractions, which triggers an evacuation within 15 to 60 minutes. It is a local, rapid, and non-systemic action, ideal for the timely relief of childhood constipation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat types of laxatives are there?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are several types of laxatives depending on their mechanism of action. \u003cstrong\u003eBulk-forming\u003c\/strong\u003e (like psyllium) increase fecal volume. \u003cstrong\u003eOsmotics\u003c\/strong\u003e (like glycerin or lactulose) retain water in the intestine. \u003cstrong\u003eStimulants\u003c\/strong\u003e (like senna or bisacodyl) directly activate intestinal movements.
