Fleet Enema is a saline laxative that provides reliable relief from occasional constipation without pain or spasms. You may be constipated if you have three or fewer bowel movements in a week, and your stools are hard, dry, and difficult to pass. Fleet Saline Enema works by increasing water in the intestine to hydrate and soften the stool to help produce a bowel movement. It is ideal for bowel cleansing before undergoing a rectal examination.
- Lubricated gentle glide tip for maximum comfort and ease of use.
