Fleet Enema is used for:
Treating constipation or cleansing the bowel before certain medical procedures. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Fleet Enema is a saline laxative enema. It works by pulling water from the body into the bowel, which helps to soften the stool and cause a bowel movement.
Do NOT use Fleet Enema if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Fleet Enema
- you have a blockage of the bowel or other severe bowel problems, congestive heart failure, kidney failure, or too much phosphate in the blood
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
How to use Fleet Enema:
Use Fleet Enema as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Remove the protective shield from the enema tip before inserting.
- With steady pressure, gently insert the enema tip into the rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with the tip pointing toward the navel. Insertion may be easier if you bear down, as if having a bowel movement. This helps relax the muscles around the anus.
- Do not force the enema tip into the rectum. This can cause injury.
- Squeeze the bottle until nearly all the liquid is gone. It is not necessary to empty the bottle completely. It contains more liquid than needed.
- Remove the tip from the rectum and maintain the position until the urge to evacuate is strong (usually 2 to 5 minutes).
- Do not use more than 1 enema in 24 hours.
- If you miss a dose of Fleet Enema, contact your doctor immediately.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Fleet Enema.
