The active ingredient found in ENEMEEZ® mini-enemas is docusate sodium. The ENEMEEZ® formulation functions as a stool softening hyper-osmotic laxative by drawing water into the bowel from surrounding body tissues. The docusate sodium acts as a softener by preparing the stool to readily mix with watery fluids. The increased mass of stool promotes a bowel evacuation by stimulating nerve endings in the bowel lining and initiating peristalsis. Not only does it soften and loosen the stool, but it initiates a normal replicated stimulus.

Constipation is the most common gastrointestinal complaint in primary, acute, and long-term care settings in the United States. An estimated 42 million individuals in the United States have bowel issues or constipation. And an estimated 1 million have incontinence. For people with conditions that can require a bowel care program, such as spinal cord injury, Spina Bifida, Multiple Sclerosis, and Traumatic Brain Injury, a systematic approach to bowel management is recommended to prevent further health complications and maximize quality of life. With these conditions, and others, the product used for bowel care management must work quickly, effectively, and with little to no side effects. The active ingredient found in ENEMEEZ® mini-enemas is docusate sodium. The ENEMEEZ® formulation functions as a stool softening hyper-osmotic laxative by drawing water into the bowel from surrounding body tissues. The docusate sodium acts as a softener by preparing the stool to readily mix with watery fluids. The increased mass of stool promotes a bowel evacuation by stimulating nerve endings in the bowel lining and initiating peristalsis. Not only does it soften and loosen the stool, but it initiates a normal replicated stimulus. The ENEMEEZ® mini-enema delivers 283mg of docusate sodium and functions as a stool softener hyper-osmotic laxative by drawing water into the bowel from surrounding body tissues, softening the stool and promoting a bowel movement. ENEMEEZ® mini-enemas are used rectally and produce quick results, typically between 2-15 minutes, as opposed to hours or days for oral constipation medications.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to our most commonly asked questions

General

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 ENEMEEZ® 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 ENEMEEZ® product cause irritation?

The ENEMEEZ® formulation is a non-irritant. Instead, it draws water from surrounding tissues, incorporating the water into the stool, initiating a “natural” 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?

ENEMEEZ® products do not irritate the bowel lining, therefore individuals will not produce a mucosal discharge from the ENEMEEZ® 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 ENEMEEZ® 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 ENEMEEZ® and ENEMEEZ® Plus?

The only difference between ENEMEEZ® and ENEMEEZ® Plus is the addition of 20mg of benzocaine. ENEMEEZ® 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.

Where can I purchase ENEMEEZ® and ENEMEEZ® Plus?

ENEMEEZ® and ENEMEEZ® Plus are over-the-counter products. ENEMEEZ® and ENEMEEZ® Plus are covered by Medicaid and private insurance plans in many states, requiring little to no out-of-pocket cost to the patient. We recommend that individuals contact their insurance companies. If you do not have coverage, please contact Customer Care for purchasing options or to receive details on the patient assistance program.

Will I need to still do Digital Stimulation?

Digital stimulation may be required by many patients, although many report a reduction in the amount of time. Please consult your physician.

I don’t have a Spinal Cord Injury. Can I still use ENEMEEZ® and ENEMEEZ® Plus?

Yes. ENEMEEZ® products are effective for bowel care needs associated with general constipation.

Can ENEMEEZ® be used for children?

ENEMEEZ® is considered safe for persons 12 years of age or older (with adult supervision). For children under 12 years of age, consult a physician prior to use.1

Is the usage of an oral docusate sodium product and the ENEMEEZ® product the same?

Oral docusate sodium must be processed through the stomach and gastrointestinal tract, a process that can take 12-72 hours. ENEMEEZ® is delivered directly into the rectum, producing results in 2-15minutes.1
