Enemeez

Tell your care team if you have nausea or vomiting before using Enemeez (docusate). These symptoms could be a sign of a more serious issue. They can also cause dehydration, which might worsen constipation.

If you've been using Enemeez (docusate) for more than a week, speak with your care team. Using the medication longer than directed can make your body rely on it to have bowel movements.

If you have stomach pain or a sudden change in your bowel movements that last for more than 2 weeks before using Enemeez (docusate), talk to your HCP. They might need to rule out any serious medical conditions.

Don't use mineral oil along with Enemeez (docusate). Combining them can make your body absorb too much mineral oil, raising your risk for side effects.

If you experience rectal bleeding or don’t have a bowel movement after using Enemeez (docusate), stop using it and let your care team know. This could be a sign of a serious problem.

Store Enemeez (docusate) up and away, out of children's reach and sight to prevent accidental swallowing. If you think a child might have swallowed Enemeez (docusate), call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 right away.

Twist off and remove the tip from the tube. Then place a few drops of water or the product on the shaft of the applicator and into the rectum to make insertion easier and more comfortable.

Lie on your left side with your knees bent. You can also try other positions, like sitting on the toilet or kneeling with your left arm folded comfortably and lowering your head and chest until the side of your face is resting on a surface.

With steady pressure, gently insert the tube into the rectum. Be careful to avoid damage to the rectal wall.

Squeeze the applicator to empty all of the medication into your rectum. Keep squeezing as you remove it. Throw away the empty applicator in regular trash.

Stay in the same position until you feel a strong urge to go to the bathroom. This usually happens in 2 to 15 minutes, so you might want to stay near a toilet.
