Glycérine À La Adultes Lambo (Glycerol)

Glycérine À La Adultes Lambo is employed in several rectal applications where a non‑medicinal solvent or lubricant is needed.

• As a rectal lubricant to facilitate the insertion of medical devices such as suppositories or catheters.
• To soften stool and aid in the relief of occasional constipation.
• As a component in compounded rectal preparations, providing a moisture‑retaining base.
• For cleansing and preparing the rectal mucosa prior to diagnostic procedures.
• In palliative care settings to reduce discomfort during bowel movements.

Side effects of rectal glycerol are generally mild, but users should be aware of both common and less frequent reactions.

Common

• Mild irritation or burning sensation at the application site.
• Transient watery diarrhea or increased stool frequency.
• Minor abdominal cramping.
• Temporary feeling of urgency.

Serious

• Severe allergic reaction presenting with rash, itching, or swelling.
• Persistent rectal bleeding not attributable to other causes.
• Signs of electrolyte imbalance from excessive fluid loss.
• Prolonged abdominal pain indicating possible obstruction.

When using Glycérine À La Adultes Lambo, consider the following safety measures.

• Verify that the product is intended for rectal use only; do not apply to other mucosal surfaces.
• Avoid use in individuals with known hypersensitivity to glycerol or related compounds.
• Use caution in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, as irritation may be amplified.
• Do not exceed recommended frequency; overuse can lead to dehydration or electrolyte disturbances.
• Keep the container tightly closed to prevent contamination.
• Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Glycerol can interact with certain medications or conditions when administered rectally.

Avoid

• Concurrent use of strong laxatives that may cause excessive fluid loss.
• Rectal administration of irritant substances such as certain enemas or contrast agents.

Use with caution

• Anticoagulant therapy, if rectal bleeding occurs.
• Diabetic patients, as glycerol may affect blood glucose monitoring.
• Patients on electrolyte‑altering drugs (e.g., diuretics) due to potential fluid shifts.
• Individuals with severe dehydration or renal impairment.
