Indications 

Fleet Mineral Oil Enema is a lubricant laxative that exerts its therapeutic effect by enveloping intestinal waste and promoting water retention. This crucial function helps mitigate the consequences of water loss from stools, which can contribute to the development of hardened fecal matter and subsequent constipation. 

Applied rectally, Fleet Mineral Oil Enema demonstrates its efficacy in treating constipation, offering a targeted approach to alleviate the condition. 

Moreover, Fleet Mineral Oil Enema finds additional utility in eliminating barium residue from the colon following CT scans or other radiologic examinations of the intestines, contributing to a comprehensive post-diagnostic care regimen. 

Fleet Mineral Oil Enema may have applications beyond those explicitly mentioned in this medication guide.
