Dulcolax 5mg For Gentle Relief From Constipation Suppositories For Children x 5 (P) Dulcolax Suppositories are ideal for people seeking immediate relief from constipation.

With Dulcolax Suppositories the active ingredient is mixed with a completely safe wax-like material which is firm at room temperature, but which melts at body temperature to allow the ingredient to work locally only. Dulcolax Suppositories are specially shaped so that they are easy to insert gently into the rectum. They are especially useful for providing gentle, effective constipation relief to individuals who have difficulty swallowing. Your doctor may advise you to use a suppository before certain medical procedures.
How does it work? Each sachet of this medicine contains macrogol (polyethlene glycol '3350'), which is a type of medicine known as an osmotic laxative. Each sachet also contains sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride. The contents of the sachets are mixed with water to make a drink.Macrogol is an inert substance that passes through the gut without being absorbed into the body. It relieves constipation because it causes the water it is taken with to be retained in the bowel instead of being absorbed into the body. This increases the water content and volume of the stools in the bowel, making them softer and easier to pass.The sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and potassium chloride (electrolytes) are included in this medicine to help ensure that the laxative works without causing the body to gain or lose significant amounts of sodium, potassium or water.This medicine is used to help people who have been constipated for a long time to have a comfortable bowel movement.

We all know that fibre is good for your digestion. It helps to maintain regularity and adds bulk to our stool, making it easier to pass. However, modern lifestyles do not always make it easy to eat the recommended daily amount of fibre. People leading stressful or busy lives, for instance, may find it more convenient to buy ready-made meals and fast-food takeaways, which typically contain less fibre. Over time, this type of diet can cause constipation. To stay regular in the long term, increasing your fibre intake is advisable. In the short term, sometimes a constipation remedy may be required to rectify the immediate problem. Fybogel Orange High-Fibre is an easy-to-use and pleasant - tasting way to increase the fibre in your diet, helping your digestive system work more efficiently and gently relieving constipation without straining, discomfort or unnatural urgency, helping to restore and maintain regularity. Fybogel Orange is sugar and gluten-free and contains no chemical stimulants.
Glycerin Suppositories contain glycerin and gelatin and are used to treat constipation. Constipation can be caused by a poor diet, not drinking enough water and not going to the toilet as soon as you feel you need to. Pregnancy, a lack of exercise or movement (such as being ill in bed) and some medicines, including some pain killers, can also cause constipation. Glycerin acts as a lubricant and a mild irritant and stimulates the muscles of the intestine, causing it to contract. The contractions help to move the stools along and makes passing them out of the body much easier.
