What is Glycerol?

Glycérine À La Nourrissons Lambo is an over‑the‑counter rectal formulation containing glycerol as the sole active ingredient. The product’s strength is not specified on the label, and it is marketed in the European Union as a glycerin‑based laxative intended for occasional use to relieve constipation, particularly in infants and young children.

What is Glycerol used for?

Glycérine À La Nourrissons Lambo is used to promote bowel movements and soften stool in a non‑systemic manner. It is commonly employed in the following situations: - Temporary relief of mild constipation in infants and toddlers. - Softening hard stools before a medical examination. - Facilitating evacuation when oral laxatives are not appropriate. - Adjunct to bowel‑cleansing regimens prior to diagnostic procedures. - General stool regulation for children with occasional irregularity.

What are the side effects of Glycerol?

Side effects of glycerol suppositories are usually mild, but users should be aware of both common and serious reactions.

Common: - Mild rectal irritation or burning sensation. - Slight abdominal cramping. - Loose stools or mild diarrhea. - Temporary increase in gas production.

Serious: - Allergic reaction such as rash, itching, or swelling. - Severe rectal bleeding. - Persistent abdominal pain. - Signs of infection at the application site.

What precautions apply to Glycerol?

Before using Glycérine À La Nourrissons Lambo, consider the following safety measures: - Keep the product out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion. - Do not use if there is rectal bleeding, severe abdominal pain, or known bowel obstruction. - Limit use to short‑term periods; prolonged use may lead to dependence. - Consult a healthcare professional before use in newborns or infants under two months. - Store at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. - Ensure the applicator tip is clean to prevent contamination.

What does Glycerol interact with?

Glycerol suppositories may interact with other agents affecting bowel function or electrolyte balance.

Avoid: - Concurrent use of other rectal laxatives or enemas, which may increase irritation. - Oil‑based suppositories that could interfere with glycerol absorption. - Medications that cause severe electrolyte loss when combined with frequent laxative use.

Use with caution: - Oral laxatives or stool softeners; monitor for excessive bowel movements. - Antidiarrheal agents, as they may counteract the intended effect. - Medications that affect coagulation, if rectal bleeding occurs. - Any drug that alters gastrointestinal motility.
