A member asked:
Can chronic glycerin suppository use cause toxic symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but: One shouldn't need to rely on glycerin suppositories for constipation. By adding a maintenance dose of polyethylene glycol 3360 +/- milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) under the direction of your doctor, I would hope that you wouldn't need chronic use of suppositories.
