Glycerin suppository is used as a laxative to treat constipation. Constipation is a condition in which defecation is difficult and the frequency of defecation is less than normal. Constipation occurs due to poor diet and drinking insufficient amounts of water or delayed defecation. Pregnancy, lack of exercise, and some medications, such as painkillers, can cause constipation.
Glycerin is a mild stimulant that activates the muscles of the gut, causing the stool to move in your gut and make defecation easier. Over-the-counter glycerin suppositories are also available in pharmacies.
