Adjusting to TAI
Starting transanal irrigation (TAI) will be a new experience for both you and your bowel. It may take a little time to optimize your routine and adjust to regular irrigations. Experiencing some issues in the beginning is normal, and it often takes 4-12 weeks to establish a reliable and effective TAI routine as your bowel adjusts.

Important Safety Information: Peristeen Plus is available by prescription only. Peristeen Plus empties the bowel by introducing water into the bowel using a rectal catheter. The anal irrigation procedure should always be carried out with care. Bowel perforation is an extremely rare, but serious and potentially lethal complication to anal irrigation and will require immediate admission to hospital, often requiring surgery.
