About the child: boy, now 2 months old, is on mixed feeding (both breast milk and Nestozhen formula with prebiotics and lactobacilli)
🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼🔼
To date, we have already used all the packaging. They really helped only one time out of five! Judge for yourself, draw conclusions and make a decision!
The first time, back in the maternity hospital, the candle worked almost immediately (probably a pure coincidence), 3-5 minutes passed and we got the result (before that, I hadn’t pooped for a day). Everything went well.
The second and third times of testing gave results as much as six hours after the administration of the suppository. Before this, the child had not pooped for two days, was nervous, strained, jerked his arms and legs, but there was no result. I don’t even know if the candle took effect after just six hours or if it happened by itself, I have no idea, but in the end the candle came out completely, like new.
The fourth and fifth time “testing” my nerves was just brutal, there was no result 24 hours!!! The baby had never pooped before three days, I used the “rescue” candle, waited and waited, constantly checked the diaper, but nothing happened, and so the fourth day passed... the child slept poorly, was capricious, pushed, but nothing happened, I didn’t know how to help him, I reproached myself for putting this candle in the first place, it’s not normal when a foreign body stays in the body for so long, especially in a baby... I was all exhausted, I didn’t wait any longer, I called the local pediatrician and the advice was simple: regular enema with lukewarm boiled water. I did everything according to the doctor’s recommendations and after a few minutes there was a result, there was so much feces that the diaper could not withstand such pressure, everything began to leak around my legs, but my joy knew no bounds, I was already jumping with happiness.
And read how many of these candles there are side effects:
Allergic reactions are possible: pain, nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal bleeding.
With long-term use of suppositories Farmina irritation and discomfort in the rectum, sometimes catarrhal proctitis, were observed.
Result: They haven’t come up with anything better than an enema yet! It was in vain that she tormented her child so much and she herself suffered next to him and did not sleep at night. A waste of money. I won't buy any more. They only helped once out of five, and that was probably a coincidence. I don't recommend it.

My other reviews:
You can combat constipation, as the main cause of hemorrhoids, using different methods. Rectal suppositories are most often used. Glycerin suppositories occupy not the last place in the list of effective drugs. They have a local effect without affecting the functioning of internal organs and systems. Facilitate the process of defecation, moisturize and soothe the inflamed rectal mucosa. In addition, they are completely eliminated from the body after providing a therapeutic effect.
Composition and effect of the drug
The active ingredient is glycerol. 1 suppository contains 2100 mg of active ingredient. Additional ingredients include: purified water - 120 mg and sodium stearate - 140 mg.
It has a laxative effect and activates intestinal motility. In addition, it softens hardened feces, ensuring their easy release.

Pharmacological properties of glycerin suppositories
Glycerin in the product has a mild irritant effect on the mucous membrane and activates intestinal activity. In addition, this substance is hygroscopic. By removing water from the body, it helps soften feces and facilitates their passage through the intestines.

Pharmacokinetics
Indications for use
Prescribed for constipation. Indicated for preventive purposes in patients who are prescribed to avoid straining during bowel movements. These are people with diagnoses: painful thrombosed hemorrhoids, anal fissure, anorectal stenosis.
Glycerin suppositories for hemorrhoids
The process of emptying in patients with hemorrhoids can provoke the appearance of microcracks in the anus. When bacterial microflora enters them, they become inflamed, causing discomfort. The use of the drug helps to soften muscles stretched after defecation, heal cracks and wounds that appear in the anorectal area.
Chronic
Suppositories with glycerin help prevent constipation, which results in the accumulation of large amounts of feces, which can injure the anus during defecation.
During exacerbation
The use of glycerin suppositories is contraindicated.
Application and dosage of glycerin suppositories
The action of glycerin suppositories occurs almost immediately after entering the rectum. Depending on the severity of the problem and the condition of the intestines, the duration of action of the drug can be 15-20 minutes in adult patients, in children - 7-10 minutes. The remains of the undissolved suppository are removed from the intestines during bowel movements.
Adults and children over 12 years of age can use 1 suppository containing 2100 mg of active ingredient once a day. Children from 5 to 12 years old are recommended to use 1 suppository containing 1405 mg of active ingredient once a day.
If emptying does not occur, you should consult a proctologist.
