Physiological Effects: The Enemeez® formulation functions as a hyper-osmotic laxative by
drawing water into the bowel from surrounding body tissues. When
the docusate and soft soaps are introduced, there is excess fluid
to be incorporated into the stool. Docusate salts function as
softeners by preparing the stools to more readily mix with watery
fluids. Increased mass of stool precipitates bowel evacuation by
stimulating nerve endings in the bowel lining and initiating
peristalsis. Not only does it soften and loosen the stool but it
augments a normal stimulus.
Autonomic Dysreflexia or pain
while producing a bowel movement.
Enemeez® Plus is the same formulation as Enemeez® with the
addition of 20mg of Benzocaine. Individuals who experiences
Autonomic Dysreflexia, pain while producing a bowel movement or
irritation from Hemorrhoids should use Enemeez® Plus. The
Benzocaine creates a numbing sensation that counteracts symptoms
experienced from Autonomic Dysreflexia or eliminates pain and
irritation. |
