1. What Glycilax Children is and what it is used for

The active ingredient of this medication, glycerol, is a laxative that is administered rectally. The laxative effect is achieved by glycerol's ability to soften the stool, which, along with a mild local irritating action, stimulates intestinal movements.

It is indicated for the local symptomatic relief of transient and occasional constipation in children from 2 to 12 years old.

You should consult a doctor if you do not improve after 7 days of treatment.
