Kanova Niños (Glycerol)

Glycerol acts as an osmotic agent; when placed in the rectum it draws water from surrounding tissues into the intestinal lumen. The added fluid softens the stool, increases its volume, and stimulates stretch receptors that trigger peristalsis, facilitating bowel movement.

The appropriate dose of Kanova Niños is determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the child’s age, weight, and severity of constipation. The prescriber will select the correct number of suppositories and frequency of administration.

Safety data for glycerol suppositories in pregnancy or lactation are limited. Use is generally avoided unless clearly indicated by a physician. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their healthcare provider before using the product.

Kanova Niños provides a locally acting, non‑systemic option compared with oral agents such as lactulose or polyethylene glycol, which require gastrointestinal absorption. Unlike mineral oil, glycerol does not carry a risk of lipid aspiration and has a rapid onset of action when administered rectally.

Store the suppositories at temperatures below 25 °C in their original packaging, protecting them from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and avoid crushing or breaking the suppository before use.

Kanova Niños is inserted rectally, typically with gloved fingers or an applicator, according to the prescriber’s instructions. The child should lie on their side with knees drawn toward the chest to facilitate placement, and remain in that position for a few minutes to allow the suppository to melt.

Serious adverse events, although rare, include severe rectal bleeding and allergic reactions such as rash, swelling or anaphylaxis. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these symptoms occur after administration.

Kanova Niños should be avoided in children with known hypersensitivity to glycerol, those with intestinal obstruction, perforation, or severe inflammatory bowel disease, and in patients who are currently using other rectal laxatives without medical guidance.
