1. What Glycerin Rovi Adult Suppositories are and what they are used for

Glycerol, the active ingredient in 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 effect, stimulates intestinal movements.

It is indicated for the local symptomatic relief of transient and occasional constipation in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age.

You should consult a doctor if your condition worsens or does not improve after 7 days.
