Treatment Information
Overview
Micralax Micro Enema 5ml is a short term use only medication which provides relief for mild to moderate constipation. This medication is ideal for the elderly who have limited mobility. This product contains two active ingredients, sodium citrate and sodium alkylsulphoacetate which are classified as laxatives. Micralax enemas are rectal laxatives that are useful in the treatment of constipation. Micralax is a type of laxative liquid that is inserted directly into the back passage (anus) through the single-dose plastic tubes.
Key features:
-
Gives fast and effective relief for mild to moderate cases of constipation.
-
It is used only for a short term.
-
Most suitable for people with restricted mobility in their adulthood.
-
Useful for colonoscopy or any other medical procedures that require the bowel to be cleared.
How it works:
Micralax Micro Enema helps to draw water into the lower bowels and thus facilitates the softening of the stool and bowel movements. This medication facilitates bowel movements and makes it easier to pass stool from the body.
Directions
-
Lay down on the right side bending the knees towards the stomach or sit on the toilet.
-
Take off the cap from the tube and apply some grease on the nozzle.
-
Push the nozzle into the rectum as far as it will go and expel the contents of the tube by squeezing the tube.
-
Keep on squeezing the syringe until the nozzle is pulled out to avoid the medicine from being pulled back.
-
Wait for 5-15 minutes for the laxative to work.
-
Throw away the used tube in a bin; do not throw it in the toilet.
-
It is recommended to wash hands with soap and water after use for at least thirty seconds.
Cautions
-
Make sure you are close to a toilet after administration.
