Product Information

Full details

Martindale Glycerin Suppositories are designed for adults seeking immediate, temporary relief from acute constipation. By utilizing a gentle, localized osmotic and lubricating effect, these suppositories effectively stimulate bowel movements without the systemic impact associated with oral laxatives; however, they are intended for short-term use only and should not be used as a chronic treatment for long-term digestive issues.

FAQs

How long does it take for the suppository to work?

Most individuals experience a bowel movement within 15 to 60 minutes after administration.

Can I use these daily?

These are intended for temporary use only. Frequent, long-term use should be discussed with a doctor as it may lead to dependency or bowel irritation.

Are these suitable for children?

No, this product is formulated specifically for adult use.

Do I need a prescription?

No, Martindale Glycerin Suppositories are available over-the-counter at most pharmacies.

What should I do if the suppository comes out immediately?

If it is expelled immediately, it may not have been inserted deeply enough. If the issue persists, consult a healthcare professional.

How should I store them?

Store them in a cool, dry place, keeping them away from direct heat to prevent the glycerol from melting.

Troubleshooting

Suppository is too soft to insert

Place the product in a refrigerator or under cool running water while still in its packaging for a few minutes to harden it.

Difficulty with insertion

Ensure the tip is moistened with clean water or a water-based lubricant before attempting insertion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides quick relief compared to oral medication
  • Minimal systemic absorption for a targeted effect
  • Simple, non-invasive administration
  • Does not require a prescription

Cons

  • Not suitable for long-term or chronic constipation management
  • May cause local irritation if used excessively

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using, ensure the suppository is firm; if it has softened due to heat, place it in a cool area or hold it under cold water while still in the packaging. To administer, remove the foil wrapper, moisten the tip with water to ease insertion, and gently push the suppository into the rectum, pointed end first. Wash hands thoroughly before and after use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting or deformation. Do not use if the packaging is damaged or if the product has expired.
