1. What is VEROLAX and what is it used for

Glycerol, the active ingredient of this medication, 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 between 2 and 12 years old.

  • If you have any anorectal disease, hemorrhagic rectocolitis (a type of chronic inflammation of the intestine), and inflamed hemorrhoids.
  • If you have cramps, colic, nausea, vomiting, or other signs of appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, acute inflammatory intestinal diseases, or any situation of abdominal pain without knowing the cause.
  • Children under 2 years old.

Be careful with VEROLAX

In case of the appearance of blood in stool, irritation, pain, or no improvement, you should interrupt treatment and consult a doctor.

Do not use this medication for more than 7 consecutive days, unless your doctor indicates otherwise.

This medication will only be used under strict medical control in patients with severe diseases, especially cardiovascular ones (related to the heart or blood vessels).

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

3. How to use VEROLAX

Follow the administration instructions of VEROLAX exactly as indicated by your doctor.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any doubts.

The normal dose is:

Children from 2 to 12 years old: 1 single-dose container per day.

This medication is administered rectally.

Instructions for the correct administration of the medication:

  1. Open the applicator by holding it by the neck and twisting the cap, facilitating the breaking of the seal.

Auto-injector device with hands holding it and pressing to administer the injection in the skin

  1. Press lightly so that a few drops of the medication moisten the end of the cannula, in order to facilitate its introduction into the rectum.
  2. Insert the cannula of the applicator into the rectum smoothly and slowly.
  3. Insert the contents of the applicator by pressing on the walls of the bellows and without stopping to press, gently remove it once the application is finished.

Each applicator is loaded with an excess of product, which remains in the applicator after use, so the amount released during application is the complete dose, and it is not necessary to empty it completely, which facilitates its handling. It should be discarded after use.

If you notice resistance during administration, you should interrupt it, as it may be harmful and damaging.

Do not use the medication for more than 7 consecutive days. If symptoms do not improve, you should suspend treatment and consult a doctor.

If you use more VEROLAX than you should
