What is Glycerol?
Glycerine Suppo’s Erwachsenen Kela is a rectal suppository containing glycerol as the sole active ingredient. It is an over‑the‑counter osmotic laxative formulated for adult use in the European market. The product works by drawing water into the intestinal lumen to soften stool and promote bowel movement. Each unit is individually wrapped for hygiene and convenience, and no prescription is required for purchase in most EU pharmacies.
What is Glycerol used for?
Glycerine Suppo’s Erwachsenen Kela is indicated for the temporary relief of occasional constipation in adults.
- Mild to moderate functional constipation where stool passage is difficult. - Occasional bowel irregularity associated with low fiber intake. - Preparation for medical examinations requiring bowel emptying. - Adjunct to dietary measures when rapid softening of stool is desired.
