Normacol enema works by increasing the water content in the bowel, which softens the stool and stimulates bowel movements. The sodium phosphate dihydrate in the enema acts as an osmotic laxative, drawing water into the colon and promoting bowel evacuation.
Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of Normacol enema in providing rapid relief from constipation with minimal side effects. Compared to oral laxatives, enemas like Normacol can offer quicker results as the medication is delivered directly to the rectum, bypassing the digestive system.
