Kanova Adultos (Glycerol)

Glycerol acts as an osmotic agent. When inserted rectally, it draws water into the colon, increasing stool moisture and volume. This softens the feces, stimulates peristalsis, and adds lubrication, making evacuation easier without significant systemic absorption.

The appropriate dose and frequency are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition and response. The prescriber selects the specific suppository strength and administration schedule that best fits the therapeutic need.

Limited clinical data are available for glycerol suppositories in pregnancy and lactation. Because systemic absorption is minimal, it is generally considered low risk, but use should only occur under medical advice after weighing potential benefits and risks.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Compared with stimulant laxatives or sodium phosphate enemas, glycerol offers a gentler, locally acting osmotic effect with minimal systemic absorption. It is less likely to cause electrolyte disturbances but may be slower to act than stimulant agents. Choice depends on patient tolerance, urgency of relief, and clinical context.

Store the suppositories at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original packaging to protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Do not freeze. Ensure the product is kept out of reach of children and used before the expiration date.

Kanova Adultos is inserted rectally. The patient should lie on their side with the upper leg bent toward the abdomen, gently push the suppository into the rectum using a gloved finger, and remain lying down for a few minutes to allow the product to dissolve.

Serious risks include severe rectal bleeding, allergic reactions such as rash or anaphylaxis, and electrolyte imbalance from excessive fluid loss. If any of these occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical attention.

Kanova Adultos should be avoided in individuals with complete bowel obstruction, severe inflammatory bowel disease flare, known hypersensitivity to glycerol, or active rectal bleeding unrelated to hemorrhoids. Consultation with a healthcare provider is essential before use in these situations.
