Laxative Saline
Fast Enema will act as a saline laxative when administered by the rectal route. Fluid accumulation in the lower bowel produces distension and promotes peristalsis and bowel movement with only the rectum, sigmoid and part or all of the descending colon being evacuated
Uses:
1- For use in the relief of occasional constipation.
2- For use where bowel cleansing is required, such as before and after lower bowel surgery, delivery and post-partum, before proctoscopy,
sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy and before radiological examinations of the lower bowel.
Do not use:
– Hypersensitivity to active ingredients or to any of the excipients
– Conditions causing increased absorption capacity or decreased elimination capacity, such
as when bowel obstruction or decreased bowel motility is present.
– suspected intestinal obstruction
– paralytic ileus
– anorectal stenosis
– imperforate anus
