Glycerine Monot Adultes P&g Health France (Glycerol)

Glycerine Monot Adultes is indicated for the temporary relief of constipation in adults. It is especially useful when a gentle, locally acting laxative is preferred.

• Mild to moderate constipation that does not respond to dietary changes
• Occasional constipation requiring short‑term relief
• Bowel preparation before minor diagnostic procedures (e.g., sigmoidoscopy)
• Adjunct to other laxatives when rapid softening of stool is needed
• Situations where oral laxatives are contraindicated or not tolerated

Side effects of glycerol administered rectally are generally mild, but rare serious reactions can occur. Patients should be aware of both common and less frequent effects.

• Slight abdominal cramping or discomfort
• Loose stools or mild diarrhea

• Minor spotting of blood from hemorrhoidal tissue

Serious

Before using Glycerine Monot Adultes, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective use.

• Do not use if you have a known allergy to glycerol or any excipients.
• Avoid prolonged or repeated use without medical advice, as it may lead to dependence.
• Use caution in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, rectal bleeding, or recent rectal surgery.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a healthcare professional before use.
• Keep the product out of reach of children; accidental rectal administration can cause irritation.
• Store at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

Glycerine Monot Adultes may interact with certain medications or conditions. Review the following interaction guidance.

Avoid

• Concurrent use with other rectal stimulants or suppositories that may increase irritation.
• Use with strong laxatives (e.g., bisacodyl) that could cause excessive fluid loss.

Use with caution

• Oral electrolyte supplements, as rapid fluid shifts may affect balance.
• Antidiarrheal agents (e.g., loperamide) that could counteract the intended effect.
• Medications that affect bowel motility, such as opioid analgesics.
• Patients on diuretics, due to potential for dehydration.
