Micolette 5 mL Micro-Enema × 50

Micolette Micro‑Enema (5 mL) is a fast-acting, small-volume rectal solution formulated to provide rapid relief from acute and chronic constipation. Packaged in a convenient 50-dose box—each tube delivering 5 mL of gel—Micolette is suitable for adults, children aged 3 years and older, older individuals, and can also be used during early labour to aid bowel evacuation.

Active Ingredients (per 5 mL dose)

Glycerol (≈ 625 mg / tube) — stimulates intestinal contractions and softens stool.
Additional excipients: sorbitol solution, potassium sorbate, purified water.
