A member asked:
Will a glycerin suppository relieve nausea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Glycerin is used for a mild stimulant/lubricant and has no effect on the brain-receptor pathway that controls nausea. However, if constipation is causing nausea, it is possible that stimulating a bm will help somewhat.
