Product Information

Martindale Glycerol 4g Suppositories are a trusted, fast-acting solution for the short-term relief of occasional constipation in adults. Formulated with glycerol (2800 mg per 4g suppository) [cite: 1.2.4], they work locally by drawing water into the bowel and gently lubricating the lower tract to stimulate a natural bowel movement. Unlike oral laxatives that require hours or days to process through the digestive system, these rectal suppositories typically produce results within 15 to 30 minutes, making them ideal when predictable, rapid relief is needed.

Key Benefits:

  • Rapid Action: Works locally within 15–20 minutes to clear occasional constipation.
  • Localised Effect: Bypasses the upper digestive tract, avoiding systemic side effects or cramping associated with harsh oral stimulant laxatives.
  • Gentle Lubrication: Glycerol draws moisture into the rectum and lubricates passage for comfortable relief.
  • Predictable Management: Ideal for targeted, short-term relief when you need dependable timing.
  • Adult Strength: Each 4g suppository delivers an optimal 2800mg active glycerol dose
How to Use This Product

For rectal use only. Adults only.

  • Prepare: Wash hands thoroughly.Tear one suppository from the strip and peel open the plastic wrapping. Moisten the tip with a little cold water if needed for comfort.(If too soft, chill briefly in the fridge or under cold water) 
  • Insert: Gently push the suppository (tip first) as far as possible into the rectum, angling slightly sideways to ensure contact with the bowel wall
  • Wait: Retain in place for 15 to 20 minutes. Try to resist the immediate urge to evacuate so the glycerol has time to work. Dosage: Use one suppository when required, or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Do not use continuously for prolonged periods without medical advice.
