Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Fleet enema contains laxatives to provide relief in constipation. If you can not turn on your sides fleet enema can be administered while you are lying down on your back. Administering the enema while a person is lying down on the back is also recommended and safe way of administration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Malik
