Hello, have you ever used Glycerol suppositories, my child's bowel is impacted (fecal impaction) and we are now taking mineral oil and Glycerol suppositories for evacuation the feces.
How many a day better to use as I am afraid too much usage of them can irritate her bottom, today we used 3. The pharmacist told maximum for child is 6. Your experience ? please

Hi,

we had to use these once.
My son is on Movicol for fecal impaction and we had to go through the whole 'evacuation ' process.

ask about movicol as it is great!

We used 1 suppository - infant ones.

it took 1 hour to work.
but we used 2 on a different occasion and they had no effect at all...

not much help I know but wanted you to know you arent the only one going through this.

hope your little one feels better soon
