FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will it take to work?

Results may vary. Many individuals experience immediate results. Others, may go through an acclimation period, if the individual has used another laxative therapy for several years. Please speak with your physician about the length of time your body may need to acclimate. If you do not experience an improvement, please consult your physician.

Will using EnemeezĀ® decrease the time spent on my bowel care program?

Many patients experience a reduction in time to complete their bowel care program. Most will experience an evacuation in 15 minutes or less.1

Will the EnemeezĀ® product cause irritation?

The EnemeezĀ® formulation is a non-irritant. Instead, it draws water from surrounding tissues, incorporating the water into the stool, initiating a ā€œnaturalā€ replicated evacuation. Please consult the drug facts located on the product label to obtain product usage warnings and precautions. For additional questions, please consult your physician.

Will I get mucosal discharge?

EnemeezĀ® products do not irritate the bowel lining, therefore individuals will not produce a mucosal discharge from the EnemeezĀ® formulation.2 This may assist the patient in maintaining healthy skin integrity related to fecal incontinence by the use of other laxative products. If you have been using a bisacodyl product previously, mucosal discharge may occur up to three (3) days after discontinuing use.

What happens if I don’t have a bowel movement?

When beginning the use of the ENEMEEZĀ® products, it is natural for your body to go through an acclimation period in order for your body to re-adjust. If you do not have an evacuation within 30 minutes, one to three units rectally can be administered during a bowel care session, 30 minutes apart, as needed or as directed by a physician.

How do I use Enemeez products

Enemeez is administered in a compact application tube, making an evacuation a simple and quick process. Enemeez is to be used rectally as an enema, it is not a suppository. Watch our 'how to use' video for step by step instructions here.

What’s the difference between the EnemeezĀ® and EnemeezĀ® Plus?

The only difference between EnemeezĀ® and EnemeezĀ® Plus is the addition of 20mg of benzocaine. EnemeezĀ® Plus contains 20mg of benzocaine, assisting in the anesthetization of the rectum and lower bowel. The formulation was developed for patients who experience painful bowel movements or autonomic dysreflexia.
