Micro Enema 10ml is a small-volume rectal preparation designed to provide local relief from constipation. Sodium citrate helps draw water into the stool, sodium lauryl sulphate acts as a stool-softening agent, and glycerine helps lubricate the rectum and support bowel evacuation.
The combination may be used to relieve occasional constipation and facilitate bowel emptying when recommended by a healthcare professional. Rectal micro-enemas generally act faster than oral laxatives, often within minutes.
