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

It is indicated for the symptomatic relief of transient and occasional constipation in infants and children under 2 years of age.
