Glycerol suppositories have limited systemic absorption, but certain substances may affect their safety or efficacy.

Avoid

• Concurrent use of strong stimulant laxatives that may cause excessive bowel activity.

Use with caution

• Oral osmotic laxatives (e.g., polyethylene glycol) – monitor for cumulative fluid shifts.
• Medications that affect electrolyte balance, such as diuretics.
• Anticoagulants – watch for increased rectal bleeding.
• Herbal laxatives or high‑dose fiber supplements – assess overall bowel regimen.
