Scientific Evidence:

Glycerin is a hyperosmotic laxative that works by drawing water into the intestines, softening the stool and promoting bowel movements. Studies have shown that glycerin is effective in providing relief from constipation by increasing the water content in the stool, making it easier to pass.

Additional Information:

It is important to drink plenty of fluids while using Glycerin Solution 25 g to prevent dehydration. Avoid using this product for an extended period without consulting a healthcare provider. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.

Pharmacological Effects:

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.

Clinical Trials and Comparative Effectiveness:

In a comparative study published in the Journal of Gastroenterology, Glycerin Solution 25 g was found to be as effective as other osmotic laxatives in providing relief from constipation. The study demonstrated that glycerin had a rapid onset of action and was well-tolerated by patients.
