Check with GI doc: every clinic may have slightly different instructions. We use two enemas, one the night before and one the morning of the procedure a few hours before. Hope this helps.

Flex sig: Usually you administer the fleets enema just prior to going to the hospital for the sigmoidoscopy so that the rectum is empty for the procedure. You could call the physician,who is to perform the sigmoidoscopy to get precise preprocedure instructions.
