Does anyone know if "enemeez" or equivalent is available in Canada? I looked it up and it consists of ducosate sodium with polyethelene glycol and glycerine. I've called a few local pharmacies and they say it's an American product, so they can't get it. MS sites refer to it's use, but not where to get it.

Hey Greybeard, thanks. I did an online 'live chat' with an agent at Canada Drugs. They do supply enemeez. Price quoted was $125 US for 30 (or maybe 36?? can't remember). They would give me a 25% discount for first order. Free shipping, no extra charges. But when I said I was Canadian, she said Canadian orders are handled differently and I would have to call during the day to talk to someone. I'll let you know how that goes.
My son's health care is covered in our province by the government's Para Program. I will also check out what they will supply as well. After reading various posts here, it looks like we are much better off here as all of his meds and supplies are provided free. Thank goodness for that. I really feel badly for those members who struggle just to get basic supplies, etc.

In the UK we have the same product but under the trade name Norgalax, it could be quite possible you guys have the same product just called something different
