A sodium-phosphate rectal laxative for occasional constipation. The 4.5 fl oz bottle has a 118 mL delivered dose; the full fill volume is not the amount normally delivered.
Product details
Product and pack: Fleet Saline Enema, 4.5 fl oz, 1 Bottle.
Active ingredients: Monobasic sodium phosphate 19 g and dibasic sodium phosphate 7 g per 118 mL delivered dose.
How to use
Age 12+: one bottle per 24 hours. Do not combine with another sodium-phosphate product. Ages 2–11 require the pediatric enema; under 2, do not use. Follow the carton’s positioning and insertion instructions. If there is no urge after five minutes, try to empty the bowel. Never repeat a dose to compensate for lack of effect.
Before use
Do not use beyond three days, with kidney disease, heart problems or dehydration, or for abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting without a doctor’s direction. Ask a doctor if 55+, sodium restricted, bowel habits changed for over two weeks, or laxatives were used for over one week. Ask during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Stop and call a doctor for bleeding, dehydration symptoms, or no bowel movement or liquid output within 30 minutes.
Does a two-bottle pack allow two doses in one day?
No. More than one enema in 24 hours can be harmful, regardless of pack size.
Check the bottle’s safety wrapper. Additional oral fluids are recommended by the label. For rectal use only. Keep away from children; get medical help or contact Poison Control if swallowed. Read the official Drug Facts.
