Is constipation normal?

Yes, completely. Constipation is a common problem for kids. Unfortunate, but true.

Which Pedia-Lax product should I use?

If your child is uncomfortable because of constipation, we first suggest trying an oral product: chewable tablets or liquid stool softener. If your child’s constipation is more severe, for the quickest relief, we suggest suppositories or enemas.

What’s the difference between the rectal and oral products?

Oral products are easy to administer and work over a short period of time. Rectal products provide immediate relief. Please see our product information page for details on each product’s reaction time.

After I give my child Pedia-Lax, how long before they’ll go?

Results will vary with each child and depend on which Pedia-Lax product you use, anywhere from a few minutes to 72 hours.

What’s the difference between the two rectal products?

Pedia-Lax Enema is a saline laxative. Pedia-Lax Liquid Glycerin Suppositories are a glycerin laxative administered in a liquid form applied with a disposable, no-mess applicator. They both relieve occasional constipation.

Suppositories are designed for kids ages 2-5 and are small, kid-sized for easy use.
