How do Glycerin Suppositories work?

Glycerol serves as the active component in Glycerin Suppositories and falls under the category of an osmotic laxative. Its mechanism involves drawing water into hardened, dry stools from other parts of the body, thereby increasing their size, softening them, and facilitating easier passage.

Additionally, Glycerol induces mild irritation to the bowel lining, promoting stimulation for slow and sluggish bowels. This action encourages the bowels to resume normal movement, helping you regain a sense of well-being.
