Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4
Glyceride (often referring to glycerol or glycerin suppositories) is scientifically validated for use in treating constipation in children. Glycerin is an osmotic laxative, and when used rectally, it draws water into the colon, softening stools and stimulating bowel movements. Numerous clinical guidelines, including those from the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) and the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN), endorse the use of glycerin suppositories as a first-line or adjunctive therapy for pediatric constipation, especially for fecal disimpaction or when oral agents are not tolerated or effective.
Multiple randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews have demonstrated that glycerin suppositories are effective and well-tolerated in children with functional constipation. Adverse effects are minimal and typically limited to local irritation. Glycerin is not systemically absorbed and has a good safety profile, even in infants. The evidence base supporting its use is substantial, though most studies are short-term and focus on symptomatic relief rather than long-term management.
In summary, the use of glyceride (glycerin) for constipation in children is supported by strong scientific evidence and is recommended in pediatric constipation management protocols globally.
