Lebalax 5mg Suppositories for Children — 10 Suppositories

Lebalax 5mg suppositories provide fast, reliable relief from occasional constipation in children. This pediatric suppository is formulated to act locally in the rectum to stimulate bowel movement, offering predictable results when oral treatments are not suitable or rapid relief is required. Each pack contains 10 individually wrapped 5mg suppositories for convenient single-dose use.

Key Benefits

  • Fast-acting relief from occasional childhood constipation (typically within 15–60 minutes)
  • Targeted rectal action — effective when oral laxatives are unsuitable or delayed
  • Single-dose suppositories for predictable bowel movements and easy administration
  • Convenient 10-suppository pack for home use or travel
  • Suitable as an OTC pediatric laxative option when used as directed
Ingredients and Materials

Active ingredient: Bisacodyl 5 mg per suppository. Inactive ingredients typically include a suppository base such as hydrogenated vegetable oil or other glyceride-based carriers. Individual packaging contains one suppository per foil wrapper to preserve stability and hygiene.

Always read the package leaflet for a full list of excipients and manufacturing details. If your child has a known allergy to any component, do not use.

How to Use

Follow the package instructions or your healthcare professional’s advice. Typical pediatric guidance:

  1. Use one 5mg suppository unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.
  2. Wash your hands before and after administration. Remove the suppository from its foil wrapper.
  3. With the child lying on their side and knees slightly bent, gently insert the tapered end of the suppository into the rectum. Push it in about 1–2 cm (for small children, just beyond the sphincter) so it stays in place.
  4. Ask the child to remain lying down for a few minutes to reduce expulsion. A bowel movement usually occurs within 15–60 minutes.

If there is no improvement or if you are unsure about dosing for your child’s age or weight, contact a pediatrician or pharmacist before repeating a dose.

Who It’s For

Lebalax 5mg suppositories are intended for children experiencing occasional constipation when a rectal laxative is appropriate. They are commonly used when rapid relief is desired or when oral laxatives are not tolerated. Use in children should follow age-appropriate guidance on the product label or be directed by a healthcare professional.

If treating infants or children with chronic constipation or underlying medical conditions, consult a pediatrician before use.

Caution & Storage

Caution: Do not use if your child has abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, suspected intestinal obstruction, acute surgical abdomen (such as appendicitis), or unexplained rectal bleeding. Discontinue use and seek medical help if symptoms worsen or persist, or if allergic reactions occur (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing).

Do not use continuously for more than a short period without medical supervision. Prolonged or excessive use of stimulant laxatives may lead to dependence or electrolyte imbalance.

Storage: Keep in original packaging, away from direct heat and sunlight. Store at room temperature as indicated on the pack (typically below 25–30°C). Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if foil wrapper is damaged.
