Autonomic Dysreflexia, pain while producing a bowel movement or
irritation from Hemmroids should use Enemeez® Plus. The Benzocaine
creates a numbing sensation that counteracts symptoms experienced
from Autonomic Dysreflexia or eliminates pain and irritation.

ACTIONS AND
USES:
This product is employed for the relief of constipation due to
infrequent or difficult bowel movements. Enemeez® Plus penetrates
and softens the stool, thereby promoting bowel movement. It is
indicated for dyschezia, lesions of the anus that make defecation
painful, impaction associated with megacolon, anal fissure, and
postoperative anal atresia. It has been employed successfully in
bedridden patients and those patients with decreased mobility in a
patient group from child to adult. Enemeez® Plus has also been
used with acute rehabilitation patients with such diagnoses as
spinal cord injuries, cerebral vascular accidents, fractures,
joint replacements, and closed head injuries. In bowel management
programs Enemeez® Plus helps establish a more predictable bowel
routine along with reducing the likelihood of bowel accidents and
incontinence. Enemeez® Plus also contains Benzocaine to
anesthetize the rectum and lower bowel; and is beneficial when an
anesthetic is needed to prevent hyperreflexia crisis or painful
bowel movement.
DOSAGE:
One unit rectally as needed or as directed by a doctor. Do not
exceed doctor’s recommendations. See precautions.
ADMINISTRATION:
Enemeez® Plus 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:
Individuals with sensitivity to Benzocaine should not use this
product. 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.
HOW SUPPLIED:
Enemeez® Plus is available in bottles of 30 single use 5cc tubes.
