Uses of Glycerin
Glycerin is used in constipation.

How to use Glycerin
Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self-administer.

How Zemisol 10% w/v/10% w/v Infusion works
Glycerin works by drawing water into the intestine through osmosis, which makes the stool soft and easier to pass.

Side Effects:

Common Dehydration.

Expert advice for Glycerin
Avoid taking a Glycerin for more than 1 week, unless prescribed by the doctor, as it leads to dependency on the laxative action to produce a bowel movement.  Together with Glycerin, fiber rich diet containing whole grain bread and cereals, bran, fruits and green leafy vegetables, is essential to maintain healthy bowel function. A Glycerin should preferably be taken at bedtime because it requires 6 to 8 hours to show impact. Notify your doctor if you are on a low-sugar diet because the Glycerin contains sugars. Take Glycerin after 2 hours from other medicines, as it may interfere with the absorption of other medicines.
