NeilMed Suppositories Review: Glycerin, Bisacodyl and Hemorrhoidal, Individually Wrapped

What it is. NeilMed Glycerin Laxative Suppositories are glycerin suppositories, 30 to the box per the listing title, each individually wrapped. The title describes them as gentle relief from constipation and fast acting; the Drug Facts label lists relief of occasional constipation. Glycerin is hyperosmotic, drawing water into the lower bowel and softening the stool that is there, which is why glycerin suppositories are the first thing to try before a stimulant and why every glycerin label reads the same 15 minutes to 1 hour.

What the title does not say: the glycerin amount per suppository. The Drug Facts panel states it; do not assume it matches Fleet's 2 g adult size without reading the box. Age directions are also on the panel. The standard stop lines apply: rectal bleeding or no bowel movement after use means stop and ask a doctor, and not more than 1 week without a doctor. The full glycerin field is in the best glycerin suppositories, and the adult-only field in the best glycerin suppositories for adults.

What it is. NeilMed Bisacodyl Laxative Suppositories are a stimulant laxative suppository, individually wrapped and, per the title, hygienic. Bisacodyl acts on the bowel wall rather than drawing water in, which is why it sits behind glycerin on every page of this site and why its label carries a longer list of possible effects: abdominal discomfort, faintness and cramps. The label lists relief of occasional constipation and the standard bisacodyl directions by age band.

The label's stop lines: rectal bleeding or no bowel movement after use means stop and ask a doctor, and not more than 1 week without a doctor. Stimulant laxatives are for occasional use. If you have not tried glycerin, the label logic says start there; glycerin vs bisacodyl explains why, and the best bisacodyl suppositories ranks the whole 10 mg field.

The larger box. The larger NeilMed Bisacodyl listing is the same individually wrapped stimulant suppository at $28.11 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026). The title states neither count nor strength; the price implies a substantially larger box than the $8.28 listing, and the Drug Facts panel on that box states what it is.

Same label lines: single daily dose for 12 and over, reduced direction for 6 to under 12, ask a doctor under 6, listed possible effects, stop and ask a doctor for rectal bleeding or no bowel movement after use. For the water-soluble alternative many bowel programs use, see our Magic Bullet review.

What it is. NeilMed Hemorrhoidal Suppositories are a rectal suppository for the temporary relief of hemorrhoid symptoms. The listing title states the claims, relief from burning, itching and discomfort and shrinking of swollen tissue; the active ingredients that carry those claims are on the Drug Facts panel, not the title, and we will not name them here without the listing doing so. Hemorrhoidal suppositories in this category typically combine a protectant with a vasoconstrictor or astringent, and the box states which.

Rectal bleeding is a see-a-doctor line on every hemorrhoid label and every laxative label alike; if you are not certain the symptom is a hemorrhoid, that is the reason to get it looked at before self-treating. The hemorrhoid shelf is ranked in the best hemorrhoid suppositories.

The jar. Fleet Glycerin Suppositories, 50 count are the adult reference glycerin: 2 g per suppository per the Drug Facts label, relief of occasional constipation, a bowel movement generally in 15 minutes to 1 hour, adults and children 6 and over with under 6 sent to a doctor. At $4.29 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026) for 50, about 9 cents a dose ($4.29 divided by 50).

The stated benchmark. Dulcolax Medicated Suppositories are bisacodyl 10 mg, four to the box, each sealed. The Drug Facts label reads relief of occasional constipation, 15 minutes to 1 hour, 1 suppository daily for 12 and over, a reduced direction for 6 to under 12, ask a doctor under 6. At $5.48 (verified via the Amazon Creators API on September 5, 2026) each is about $1.37 ($5.48 divided by 4).

Same label lines: listed possible effects of abdominal discomfort, faintness and cramps; stop and ask a doctor for rectal bleeding or no bowel movement after use; not more than 1 week without a doctor. Our full write-up is the Dulcolax suppositories review.
