Micralax Micro Enema - Fast-Acting Relief for Constipation

You can rely on Micralax micro enema to provide gentle yet effective relief from constipation when you need it most. This sodium citrate-based solution works directly in your rectum to soften hardened stools and stimulate bowel movements, typically producing results within 5 to 20 minutes of administration.

Each single-use tube contains a ready-to-use solution that requires no mixing or preparation. The convenient pack of 12 ensures you have sufficient supply for ongoing management of occasional constipation episodes.

How Micralax Works to Relieve Constipation

The active ingredients in Micralax work through osmotic action to draw water into your bowel, softening hardened faecal matter and making it easier to pass. Sodium citrate acts as the primary active ingredient, whilst sodium lauryl sulphoacetate helps to wet and soften the stool contents.

This dual-action formula targets the immediate area of blockage, providing localised relief without affecting your entire digestive system. The solution begins working immediately upon contact with faecal matter in your rectum.

Who Can Use Micralax Micro Enemas

Micralax is suitable for adults and children over 3 years of age who experience occasional constipation. You may find this treatment particularly helpful if you need rapid relief or if oral laxatives have not provided adequate results.

This product is appropriate for various situations where constipation relief is needed:

Occasional constipation episodes lasting several days
Pre-medical procedure bowel preparation when recommended by healthcare professionals
Post-operative constipation under medical supervision
When oral medications are not suitable or effective

If you frequently experience digestive issues, you may also benefit from exploring our constipation collection for additional treatment options.

Preservative-Free Formula for Gentle Action

Micralax contains no preservatives, making it gentler on your rectal tissues compared to some alternative enema products. The preservative-free formulation reduces the risk of local irritation whilst maintaining the product's effectiveness and safety profile.

The single-use tubes eliminate the risk of contamination and ensure you receive a fresh, sterile dose with each application. This design also makes the product more hygienic and convenient for travel or storage.

Clinical Suitability and Storage Requirements

You should store Micralax at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not freeze the product, as this may affect its consistency and effectiveness. Each tube is designed for single use only and should be discarded after opening, even if not completely emptied.

Consult your pharmacist or doctor before using Micralax if you have inflammatory bowel conditions, rectal bleeding, or severe abdominal pain. The product is not recommended for long-term regular use without medical supervision.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

How to Use Micralax Micro Enema

Remove the cap from the tube and gently squeeze a small amount of the solution onto the tip to lubricate it. Insert the tip into your rectum whilst lying on your left side with your knees drawn up towards your chest. Squeeze the tube gently but firmly to empty the contents completely into your rectum.

Remain in the lying position for a few minutes after administration to allow the solution to work effectively. You should feel the urge to have a bowel movement within 5 to 20 minutes of using the enema.

Dosage and Frequency Guidelines

Use one tube as a single dose when needed for constipation relief. Adults and children over 12 years can use one full tube contents. For children aged 3 to 12 years, use half the tube contents unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.

Do not use more than one dose in a 24-hour period unless specifically advised by your doctor or pharmacist. If you do not experience relief within 30 minutes of administration, consult a healthcare professional before using another dose.

Understanding Potential Side Effects

Like all medicines, Micralax Micro Enema can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Most people tolerate this treatment well, but you should be aware of possible reactions that may occur during or after use. If you experience persistent digestive problems, our IBS and cramps collection offers additional support options.

The most commonly reported side effects include mild local irritation at the site of application and temporary abdominal cramping as your bowel responds to the treatment. These effects are usually brief and resolve once the bowel movement occurs.

Possible side effects may include:

Mild burning or stinging sensation in the rectum
Temporary abdominal cramps or discomfort
Local irritation around the anal area
Nausea or feeling of fullness
Diarrhoea following the initial bowel movement
Rectal bleeding (rare, seek immediate medical attention)
Severe abdominal pain (discontinue use and consult doctor)
Allergic reactions such as skin rash or swelling
Dizziness or weakness
Electrolyte imbalance with frequent use

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
