Caution should be exercised in patients with colostomies who are taking diuretics or other medications which may affect electrolyte levels.

Route/Method of administration For rectal use only: The enema may be administered at room temperature or warmed in water before use. Lie on left side with both knees bent, arms at rest.

UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED Review Date: November 2018 Identifier: NHSG/PGD/PhosEn/MGPG
6 Discontinue use if resistance is encountered. Forcing the enema can result in injury. Gently remove nozzle from rectum, it is normal to experience some leakage of the enema liquid. Return enema to carton for disposal. Generally, 2 to 5 minutes are sufficient to obtain the desired effect. If delayed discontinue further use and consult a physician. Dosage/Total Dose Administer the full contents of the enema. Duration of treatment To be administered once only, up to 30 minutes prior to procedure. Storage requirements Do not store above 25 C. Do not refrigerate. Follow-up (if applicable) If the enema fails to work, the patient should be referred to a doctor or endoscopist. Administration should only be repeated if prescribed. Advice to patient (Verbal) Advice should be given on what to expect and what to do for major and minor reactions. The expected effects from the administration of the enema should be explained to patients and they should be advised that there may be a rapid response. Advice to patient (Written) The Patient Information Leaflet (PIL) contained in the medicine(s) should be made accessible to the patient, parent, guardian, or person with parental responsibility. Where this is unavailable, or unsuitable, sufficient information should be given in a language that they can understand. Copies of PIL and SPCs for all medicines can be found at or Concurrent Medications/Drug Interactions Use with caution in patients taking calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, diuretics, lithium treatment or other medications that might affect electrolyte levels as hyperphosphataemia, hypocalcaemia, hypokalaemia, hypernatraemic dehydration and acidosis may occur. UNCONTROLLED WHEN PRINTED Review Date: November 2018 Identifier: NHSG/PGD/PhosEn/MGPG
7 No other sodium phosphate preparations including sodium phosphate oral solution or tablets should be given concomitantly. As hypernatraemia is associated with lower lithium levels, concomitant use of Cleen and Fleet Ready-to-Use Enema and lithium therapy could lead to a fall in serum lithium levels with a lessening of effectiveness. Identifying and managing possible adverse reactions Local irritation. Rarely, vasovagal attacks have occurred especially in elderly patients. Suspected adverse effects should be documented within the patients care pathway, and reported to medical staff. This list is not exhaustive. Please also refer to current BNF/BNFC and manufacturers SPC for details of all potential adverse reactions. BNF: SPCs/PILs: If an adverse reaction does occur give immediate treatment and inform relevant medical practitioner as soon as possible. Report the reaction to the MHRA using the Yellow Card System. Medical advice in cases of anaphylaxis Injections of IM adrenaline/epinephrine 1:1000 must be available to treat an anaphylactic reaction should this occur. Medical advice must be sought as soon as possible from a doctor if any patient develops any signs of hypersensitivity. If there is a delay in medical support arriving and the condition of the patient is deteriorating then an emergency ambulance must be called on 999 or direct via ambulance control or dial 2222 (hospital internal) according to local procedure, or seek urgent medical advice.
