Sellalax 2500mg Glycerol Suppositories 30 Pieces Sella

Description
Disposable medical device for rectal use in suppository format, indicated to facilitate bowel evacuation.
It can be used for the short-term treatment of occasional constipation.
Suppository of temporary duration and action. Glycerol-based preparations for rectal use demonstrate evacuative activity without the product itself being absorbed by the intestinal mucosa. In fact, when present in the intestinal lumen, glycerol is able to exert its activity not as a consequence of its systemic absorption, but simply on the basis of a physical mechanism.
It softens the stool and works by lubricating the wall of the rectum, encouraging bowel movements and muscle contractions that push the fecal mass up to promote its expulsion.

How to use
Wash your hands thoroughly before and after using suppositories.
If the suppository is too soft to use, it is recommended to place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes or under cold water, after which you can remove the wrapper and then wet it with cold water or a water-based lubricant to facilitate insertion.
Lie on your back and insert the pointed end of the suppository into your rectum. Push it all the way in with your finger, otherwise the suppository may be expelled. Remain lying down, possibly on your stomach, for a few minutes before sitting or standing. The effect occurs within half an hour.
For rectal use only.
