programs Enemeez® helps establish a more predictable bowel routine
along with reducing the likelihood of bowel accidents and
incontinence.
DOSAGE:
One unit rectally as needed or as directed by a doctor. Do not
exceed doctor’s recommendations. See precautions.
ADMINISTRATION:
Enemeez® is to be used as an enema. This is not a suppository. Do
not take orally. Administering the mini enema: Twist off and
remove tip. Place water or a few drops of the product on the shaft
of the tube to lubricate prior to insertion. It is also
recommended that one of these lubricants be applied to the anus
before inserting the enema. With steady pressure, gently insert
the enema into the rectum with care to prevent damage to the
rectal wall. Squeeze to empty the contents. Keep the tube squeezed
until it is removed from the rectum. After the contents have been
emptied, remove the disposable tube and discard. A small amount of
liquid may remain in the unit after use.
Positioning:
•For best results, lay on left side with knees bent
•Second Position: Kneel, then lower head and chest forward until
side of face is resting on the surface.
CAUTION:
Discontinue use if resistance is encountered. Forcing the enema
may result in injury or damage to the rectum. If product is not
administered properly and occasional rectal examinations are not
performed, serious complications can arise. Occasional rectal
exams are imperative for patients with impaired rectal function,
especially loss of sensation.
PRECAUTIONS:
If rectal irritation or a rash around the anus appears, the enemas
should be discontinued. Prolonged administration together with
mineral oil should be avoided.
WARNINGS:
Do not use laxative products when abdominal pain, nausea or
vomiting are present nor for a period longer than 1 week unless
directed by a doctor. If you have noticed a sudden change in bowel
habits that persists
over a period of 2 weeks, consult a doctor before using a
laxative. Rectal bleeding or failure to have a bowel movement
after use of a laxative may indicate a serious condition.
Discontinue use and consult your doctor.
