Vilardell Suppositories Glycerine Infant 12 units Blister

It is a medicine in the form of suppositories for rectal administration that are composed of glycerol, an active ingredient with laxative properties that produce a softening of the stool and a slightly irritating local action that stimulates the intestine to facilitate the evacuation of the stool.

It is therefore indicated for the treatment of occasional constipation in children.

It comes in a pack of 12 suppositories.

Intended for use in children from 2 to 12 years of age.

The usual dose is 1 suppository a day, when needed or as directed by your doctor.
