Description

Norgalax Rectal Gel Micro-Enema

Norgalax Rectal Gel Micro-Enema contains the active ingredient docusate sodium which softens your faeces  to make your bowel movements easier. It provides relief from constipation or can be used to empty the large intestine if the doctor wants to examine inside it.

Directions

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

Adults and children 12 years and over: 

  • The recommended dose is one tube and this is usually all you need. You can use a second tube later in the day, or the next day if needed.
  • Do not use Norgalax for more than a few days at a time.

To use Norgalax Rectal Gel Micro-Enema:

  • Pull the cap off the neck of the tube.
  • Gently squeeze the tube and smear a drop around the neck of the tube to help it slide in.
  • Push the neck of the tube all the way into your rectum (back passage). Squeeze the tube gently until it is empty.
  • Stay near a toilet because you should need to use it about 5 to 20 minutes after using Norgalax.

Ingredients

  • Active Ingredient: Docusate sodium 0.12g per tube.
  • Other Ingredients: Glycerol (E 422), carmellose sodium and puried water.

Cautions

  • Prolonged use can cause the gut to become lazy and not work properly. It can also lead to low levels of potassium in the blood (called 'hypokalaemia').
  • Rectal Gel Micro-Enema should not be used in children under 12 years old.
  • Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used or might use any other medicines.
  • The liver may be affected (signs include yellowing of the skin and eyes, bruising or itching) especially if other laxatives are being used as well as Rectal Gel Micro-Enema.
  • Do not use Rectal Gel Micro-Enema if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless your doctor has told you to do so.
  • Rectal Gel Micro-Enema contains glycerol (E 422). May have a mild laxative effect.

Do not use Norgalax Rectal Gel Micro-Enema:

  • If you are allergic to docusate sodium or any of the other ingredients of this medicine.
  • If you have haemorrhoids (piles) or bleeding from your rectum (back passage).
  • If you have a pain in your abdomen (tummy).
  • If you feel sick or are being sick.
  • If you have a blockage in your intestine (gut).
  • If you have sores around your anus (bottom) called anal fissures.
