Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

The Docusate Sodium 14.1%/Benzocaine 1% Rectal Enema is a specially compounded medication, designed to address a range of conditions. This unique formulation combines the properties of docusate sodium, a surfactant laxative, and benzocaine, a topical anesthetic.

Docusate sodium functions by softening the stool and increasing the water content in the intestines, thereby facilitating easier bowel movements. On the other hand, benzocaine serves to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with these conditions. This formulation is intended for rectal administration and is typically used for short-term relief.

This medication is contained in a ready-to-use liquid formulation in pre-filled enema bottles. This design ensures a convenient and hygienic method for targeted treatment of constipation, bowel cleansing, or medication delivery. The pre-measured dose of the solution allows for easy and controlled application, eliminating the need for additional preparation.

The Docusate Sodium 14.1%/Benzocaine 1% Rectal Enema is a potent treatment for constipation, anal fissures, and hemorrhoids. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication. If you have any queries or concerns about this formulation, we encourage you to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to providing comprehensive information and support to ensure the safe and appropriate use of our compounded medications.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Docusate Sodium 14.1%/Benzocaine 1% Rectal Enema is a ready-to-use liquid solution, conveniently contained in pre-filled enema bottles for rectal administration. It is designed to provide a targeted treatment for constipation, fecal impaction, and hemorrhoids. The measured dose of the solution allows for easy and controlled application, eliminating the need for additional preparation.

It is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to either Docusate Sodium or Benzocaine. Special caution should be exercised when using this formulation in patients with renal or hepatic impairment. This is due to the fact that Docusate Sodium is renally excreted and Benzocaine is metabolized by the liver.

Interactions may occur with other medications such as antacids, laxatives, and antidiarrheal medications. It may also interact with other rectal medications, including corticosteroids. Therefore, it is advised not to use this formulation in combination with these medications.

Potential side effects may include local irritation. Therefore, it should be used with caution in patients with rectal bleeding or inflammation. It is also advised not to use this formulation in patients with rectal fissures or fistulas.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
