Glycerin Suppository typically produces a bowel movement within 15 to 30 minutes of rectal insertion. It is intended for short-term use and should not be used regularly without physician guidance.

For most adults, Glycerin Suppository is well tolerated when used as directed. It acts locally in the rectum and is not absorbed into the bloodstream. Side effects can include rectal irritation, burning, or discomfort. Talk to your provider if you have rectal fissures, hemorrhoids, or inflammatory bowel conditions.

Lie on your side with your knees drawn toward your chest. Gently insert the suppository, pointed end first, about one inch into the rectum. Try to retain it for at least 15 minutes before having a bowel movement. Moisten the suppository with water if needed for easier insertion.

Glycerin Suppository is intended for occasional, short-term use. Regular daily use is not recommended without physician supervision, as it may reduce the bowel's natural ability to respond to normal stimuli. If you need frequent relief, a provider can help you identify and treat the underlying cause.
