Instructions
Additional liquids by mouth are recommended while using this product **Positions for using this enema **Left-side position: Lie on left side with knees bent and arms resting comfortably. **Knee-chest position: Kneel, then lower head and chest forward until left side of face is resting on surface with left arm folded comfortably. **How to use this enema **■Remove protective shield from enema tip before inserting. **Hold bottle upright, grasping bottle cap with fingers. Grasp protective shield with other hand and pull gently to remove. **■Administering enema: ** • With steady pressure, gently insert enema tip into rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with tip pointing toward navel. Insertion may be easier if person receiving enema bears down, as if having a bowel movement. Doing so helps relax muscles around anus. ** • Do not force enema tip into rectum. Stop using if tip is hard to insert. Forcing the tip into the rectum can cause injury (especially if you have hemorrhoids). If enema tip causes rectal bleeding or pain, get immediate medical care. ** • Squeeze bottle until nearly all liquid is gone. It is not necessary to empty bottle completely, as it contains more liquid than needed. ** • Remove tip from rectum and stay in position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 1 to 5 minutes). If no urge is felt after 5 minutes of using, try to empty bowel. Call a doctor promptly if no liquid comes out of the rectum after 30 minutes because dehydration could occur. **WARNINGS **DOSAGE WARNING: USING MORE THAN ONE ENEMA IN 24 HOURS CAN BE HARMFUL. **FOR RECTAL USE ONLY. **DO NOT USE **■on children under 2 years of age **ASK A DOCTOR BEFORE USE IF YOU **■have already used a laxative for more than 3 days **■have kidney disease, have heart problems, or are dehydrated **■are 55 years of age or older **■are on a sodium-restricted diet **■have abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting **■have a sudden change in bowel habits lasting more than 2 weeks **ASK A DOCTOR OR PHARMACIST BEFORE USE IF YOU are taking any other drug.
