Electrolyte shifts are of particular concern in children with megacolon or any other condition where there is retention of enema solution, and in patients with co-morbidities. That is why Cleen Ready-to-Use Enema should be used with caution in: elderly or debilitated patients and in patients with uncontrolled arterial hypertension, ascites, heart disease, rectal mucosal changes (ulcers, fissures), colostomy patients who are taking diuretics or other medications which may affect electrolyte levels, who are taking medications known to prolong the QT interval (such as amiodarone, arsenic trioxide, astemizole, azithromycin, erythromycin, clarithromycin, chlorpromazine, cisapride, citalopram, domperidone, terfenadine, procainamide), or pre-existing electrolyte imbalance such as hypocalcaemia, hypokalaemia, hyperphosphataemia, hypernatraemia .
Use also with caution in patients who are taking medications known to affect renal perfusion or function, or hydration status. Where electrolyte disorders are suspected and in patients who may experience hyperphosphataemia, electrolyte levels should be monitored before and after administration of Cleen Ready-to-Use Enema.
The product should be used with caution in patients with impaired renal function, when the clinical benefit is expected to outweigh the risk of hyperphosphataemia. Repeated and prolonged use of Cleen Ready-to-Use Enema is not recommended as it may cause habituation.
