Description

Glycerin Solution 25 g

Ingredients:

Each 100g contains 25g of Glycerin.

Mechanism of Action:

Glycerin is a hyperosmotic laxative that works by drawing water into the intestines, softening the stool and promoting bowel movements.

Pharmacological Properties:

When ingested, glycerin is poorly absorbed in the intestines and retains water due to its hyperosmotic nature. This results in increased water content in the stool, softening it and facilitating bowel movements. Glycerin acts locally in the colon, exerting its laxative effect without systemic absorption.

Indications for Use:

Glycerin Solution 25 g is indicated for the relief of occasional constipation.
