Micronema 20 ml Liquid

Micronema 20 ml Liquid is a medicine made by Atco Laboratories Ltd that contains Sodium Phosphate Enema, a saline (phosphate) enema. It is used for constipation, faecal impaction and bowel preparation. Pack size: 20 ml liquid.

Uses of Micronema 20 ml Liquid

Micronema 20 ml Liquid is used for quick relief of occasional constipation and to empty the lower bowel before surgery, childbirth, X-rays or bowel examinations such as sigmoidoscopy. It is given into the back passage (rectum) and usually works within a few minutes. It is meant for occasional use only and is not a treatment for long-term constipation.

How Micronema 20 ml Liquid works

Sodium phosphate is a salt solution that draws water into the bowel by osmosis. The extra fluid softens the stool and stretches the bowel wall, which triggers the muscles of the rectum to contract and push out the bowel contents.

Possible side effects

Usually only short-lived discomfort is felt after Micronema 20 ml Liquid, such as:

• Stomach cramps
• Bloating
• Rectal irritation or discomfort
• Nausea

Get medical help if you have severe stomach pain, rectal bleeding, no bowel movement after using it, or signs of dehydration such as dizziness, confusion or passing very little urine.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not repeat it or use it regularly unless a doctor advises, as too much phosphate can cause serious salt imbalances and kidney damage.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, heart failure, high blood pressure, dehydration, or a bowel condition such as inflammatory bowel disease or a blockage.
• It is not suitable for young children unless a doctor recommends it, and older people should use it with care.
• If nothing is passed, do not use another enema; seek medical advice instead.
• Drink plenty of fluids, and speak to your doctor before use if you are pregnant.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
