How to Use a Fleet Enema?

Using the Fleet enema is simple. Follow these steps for proper administration:

• Remove the protective cap from the applicator.
• Tilt the bottle and apply slight pressure to expel air.
• Gently insert the pre-lubricated applicator into the rectum.
• Squeeze the bottle to administer all contents evenly.
• Maintain the position for a few minutes until you feel the urge to evacuate.

Evacuation usually occurs within 1 to 5 minutes. Do not exceed the recommended dose (one enema per day). Wash your hands after use. For best results, follow the package instructions and consult a healthcare professional if you have any questions.

Mechanism of Action

The Fleet enema works by means of a saline solution that, when introduced into the rectum, draws water into the colon by osmosis. This process softens the stool and stimulates bowel movements, providing fast and effective relief from constipation. The osmotic action is gentle but effective, and does not contain aggressive stimulants. This product is not a multivitamin or a food supplement, but an over-the-counter medication for occasional constipation. It does not contain additional vitamins or minerals.
