A member asked:
Came home on paid meds, had small hard stools, can a senior safely use a glycerin suppository for relief?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: However i would be sure you are drinking plenty of non caffeine fluids, 80-100 ounces per day. Hard pelletized stool is usually due to dehydration and inadequate fluids.
