1. What Glycerin Suppositories Dr. Torrents Infants are and what they are 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, together with a mild local irritating action, stimulates the movements of the intestine.
