1. What Glycerin Rovi Children Suppositories 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 the ability of glycerol to soften the stool, which, together with a mild local irritating action, stimulates the movements of the intestine.

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 it worsens or does not improve after 7 days.
