Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

The Docusate Sodium 14.1%/Benzocaine 1% Rectal Enema is a specially compounded medication, designed to address a range of conditions. This unique formulation combines the properties of docusate sodium, a surfactant laxative, and benzocaine, a topical anesthetic. The dual-action of these ingredients provides effective relief from constipation, anal fissures, and hemorrhoids.

On the other hand, benzocaine serves to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with these conditions. This formulation is intended for rectal administration and is typically used for short-term relief.

This medication is contained in a ready-to-use liquid formulation in pre-filled enema bottles. This design ensures a convenient and hygienic method for targeted treatment of constipation, bowel cleansing, or medication delivery. The pre-measured dose of the solution allows for easy and controlled application, eliminating the need for additional preparation.
