Laxative enema
Relieving occasional constipation or fecal impaction (severe constipation). It may also be used to cleanse and remove residue from the bowel in certain situations (eg, after using a barium enema).
Golistin enema is a lubricant laxative that works by slowing the absorption of water from the bowel, which softens the stool.
Posology:
Adults, Elderly and children over 12 years old:
According to physician consideration, one bottle of 133 ml (delivered dose 120 ml) or 250 ml (delivered dose 240 ml), not more than once daily.
Method of administration:
For rectal use only. Disposable after single use. Results usually obtained in 1 to 5 minutes.
Bottle must be shaken before use for dispersion of the sediment.
Remove protective cover from tip before use.
When administering the product, gently insert the enema into the rectum with the tip pointing toward the navel. Insertion may be made easier by having the patient bear down as having a bowel movement. Care during insertion is necessary due to lack of sensory innervations of the rectum and due to possibility of bowel perforation. Once inserted, gently squeeze the bottle until nearly all the liquid is expelled. If resistance is encountered on insertion of the nozzle or in administering the solution, the procedure should be discontinued. Forcing the enema can result in perforation and/or abrasion of the rectum.
