Glycerine suppositories are used to treat constipation and faecal leakage by helping to empty the lower bowel and back passage. They work by softening and lubricating stool using glycerine, which also stimulates bowel muscles to contract and promote bowel movements. Benefits include easier bowel movements and emptying of the back passage to prevent leakage. Potential side effects are mild and temporary irritation in the anal area. Glycerine suppositories are inserted into the rectum where they melt and stimulate bowel emptying within 10-15 minutes.
