Fleet Enema Mineral Oil 130ml is a single-use disposable enema designed to relieve occasional constipation and soften stool for easier passage.
Active Ingredient:
- Mineral Oil (100%): Acts as a lubricant laxative by coating the stool and allowing it to pass through the intestines more easily.
Benefits:
- Gentle Relief: Mineral oil is a lubricating option that can be suitable for people who need to avoid straining, such as those recovering from surgery or childbirth, or those with hemorrhoids.
- Fast-Acting: Can work within 2-15 minutes of administration.
- Easy to Use: Comes with a pre-lubricated tip and a single-use bottle for convenience and hygiene.
Things to Consider:
- Read the Label Carefully: Follow the dosage instructions on the label precisely. The typical dose is one bottle for adults and children 12 years and older.
- Not for Everyone: Consult a doctor before using Fleet Enema Mineral Oil if you have certain medical conditions (appendicitis, undiagnosed abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction), are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking other medications.
- Not a Regular Solution: Fleet Enema Mineral Oil is intended for occasional use and should not be a routine solution for constipation.
- Potential Side Effects: Mineral oil can interfere with the absorption of some vitamins and medications. It may also cause leakage if not retained for long enough.
- Not a Cure: Fleet Enema Mineral Oil provides temporary relief and doesn't address the underlying cause of constipation.
Alternatives:
- Dietary Changes: Increasing fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help regulate bowel movements.
- Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day helps to soften stool and prevent constipation.
- Stool Softeners: Over-the-counter stool softeners can make it easier to pass stool.
- Lifestyle Changes: Managing stress and establishing a regular bathroom routine can also be helpful.
Important Note:
- Consult a Doctor for Frequent Constipation: If you experience frequent constipation, consult a doctor to identify the underlying cause and recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
