A member asked:
If im constipated from my norco 10 pain meds. would a mineral oil enema or a saline enema be more effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trial: Start with Fleets enema and if that does not work you may go to mineral oil enema. It may help to take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water so that your urine is mostly colorless.
