Medication name: Tegalax Micro Enema Gel 15 g \u00d7 5 Tubes
\nDrug class: Stimulant and osmotic laxative (rectal gel enema)<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to relieve occasional constipation and to prepare the bowel before certain medical procedures such as rectal examinations or surgeries.
\nIt works locally in the rectum to soften the stool and stimulate a natural bowel movement, usually within minutes.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nTegalax contains sodium citrate, sorbitol, and glycerol, which act together to draw water into the bowel and soften the stool (osmotic effect).
\nIt also contains sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, which helps lubricate the rectum and stimulate gentle contractions of the colon.
\nThese combined actions promote an effective and comfortable bowel evacuation without irritating the intestines.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nFor adults and children over 12 years: use one tube (15 g) rectally as needed.
\nFor children aged 3 to 12 years: use only under medical supervision.
\nRemove the cap, gently insert the lubricated nozzle into the rectum, and squeeze the entire contents of the tube.
\nHold the gel in place for a few minutes before evacuation to allow it to work effectively.
\nEach tube is for single use only \u2014 discard after use.<\/p>\n
Side effects:
\nTegalax is generally well tolerated.
\nOccasionally, mild rectal irritation, a burning sensation, or abdominal cramping may occur.
\nOveruse may lead to diarrhea or electrolyte imbalance.
\nSeek medical attention if persistent pain, bleeding, or severe discomfort occurs.<\/p>\n
Precautions:
\nDo not use if you have intestinal obstruction, inflammatory bowel disease, rectal bleeding, or unexplained abdominal pain.
\nConsult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have kidney or heart problems.
\nAvoid long-term use without medical supervision, as it may cause dependence or disrupt normal bowel function.
\nThis product is for rectal use only \u2014 do not swallow.<\/p>\n
