Product Information
Full details
The Fleet Mineral Oil Enema is designed for individuals who need a gentle and effective bowel cleansing solution, particularly those recovering from surgery, childbirth, or managing hemorrhoids, where straining must be avoided. Its key benefit is providing relief in minutes using a pre-lubricated, soft tip for comfortable application. A caveat is that it's a mineral oil-based enema, suitable for specific needs and not for general-purpose cleansing. This disposable squeeze bottle offers convenience and a protective shield for contamination prevention.
