Fleet Enema Pediatric 65ml is a single-use disposable enema designed to relieve occasional constipation in children ages 2 to 12.
Active Ingredients:
- Monobasic sodium phosphate (16 g) and dibasic sodium phosphate (6 g): These work by drawing water into the intestines, softening stool, and stimulating a bowel movement.
Benefits:
- Fast-Acting Relief: Usually works within 2 to 5 minutes of administration.
- Pre-Lubricated Tip: Ensures comfortable insertion.
- Single-Use Bottle: Convenient and hygienic.
- Easy-to-Use: Comes with clear instructions for application.
Things to Consider:
- Read and Follow Label Instructions Carefully: Ensure you understand the proper dosage and administration method based on your child's age.
- Not for Everyone: Consult a doctor before using Fleet Enema Pediatric if your child has certain medical conditions (appendicitis, undiagnosed abdominal pain, rectal bleeding), is severely dehydrated, or is taking other medications.
- Not a Regular Solution: Fleet Enema Pediatric is intended for occasional use and should not be used routinely.
- Potential Side Effects: Although uncommon, irritation, cramps, or discomfort can occur.
- Not a Cure: Fleet Enema Pediatric provides temporary relief and doesn't address the underlying cause of constipation.
Alternatives:
- Dietary Changes: Increasing your child's fiber intake through fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help regulate bowel movements.
- Hydration: Encourage your child to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to keep stool soft.
- Stool Softeners: Over-the-counter stool softeners can make it easier for your child to pass stool.
- Lifestyle Changes: Establishing a regular bathroom routine and encouraging physical activity can also be helpful.
Important Note:
- Consult a Doctor Before Use: It's crucial to consult your child's pediatrician before using Fleet Enema Pediatric, especially if your child has frequent constipation, abdominal pain, or any underlying health conditions. They can diagnose the cause of your child's constipation and recommend the most suitable treatment approach.
