Fleet Enema Adult 133 mL

What is Fleet Enema Adult?

Fleet Enema Adult is a ready-to-use saline laxative enema designed to help relieve occasional constipation and facilitate bowel movements.

It works by drawing water into the bowel, helping to moisten and soften the stool and stimulate bowel movements. It usually takes effect within 1 to 5 minutes, making it a fast-acting option when constipation relief is needed. It may also be used to empty the lower bowel before certain rectal examinations, as directed by a physician.

The product comes in a 133 mL ready-to-use bottle with a pre-lubricated tip to facilitate insertion and help minimize discomfort during use.
