Milax 1,0 (Glycerol)

Glycerol acts as an osmotic agent. When inserted rectally, it draws water from surrounding tissues into the intestinal lumen, increasing fluid volume. This softens the stool, expands the rectal walls, and activates stretch receptors that trigger peristaltic movements, facilitating a gentle and rapid bowel movement.

The appropriate dose of Milax 1,0 is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, severity of constipation, and clinical response. The product is supplied as a single‑dose suppository, and the prescriber decides how many suppositories may be used and the interval between administrations.

Safety data for glycerol suppositories in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using Milax 1,0. The prescriber will weigh potential benefits against any uncertain risks to the mother and the infant.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Milax 1,0 product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, confirming trade or institutional credentials before providing a quotation, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.

Milax 1,0 provides a local, rectal route of administration, which can be advantageous when oral intake is limited or rapid relief is needed. Unlike stimulant laxatives, glycerol works by osmotic water attraction, resulting in a gentler effect and a lower risk of cramping. It is also non‑systemic, reducing the likelihood of drug‑wide interactions.

Milax 1,0 should be stored at room temperature, ideally below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and heat. Keep the product out of direct sunlight and away from sources of humidity to maintain its integrity and efficacy.

The suppository is inserted gently into the rectum, preferably after a light meal, using a gloved finger or applicator. The patient should remain lying down for a few minutes to allow the glycerol to melt and exert its osmotic effect. No additional preparation is required.

Serious adverse events are rare but may include severe rectal bleeding, allergic reactions such as rash or swelling, and electrolyte disturbances if excessive fluid loss occurs. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience unexpected bleeding, signs of hypersensitivity, or prolonged diarrhea.

Milax 1,0 should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to glycerol, in cases of suspected mechanical bowel obstruction, severe dehydration, or active rectal disease such as ulcerative colitis flare. Children under two years of age should only use the product under direct medical supervision.
