Directions Adults and children 12 years of age and older (with adult supervision) one to three units daily. Children under 12 years of age, consult a doctor prior to use. Twist off and remove tip. Lubricate tip prior to insertion: Place a few drops of the tube's liquid content on the shaft prior to insertion. Also apply liquid content or lubricant to the anus before inserting the mini-enema.

Positioning: For best results, lay on left side with knees bent. Insert slowly into rectum, up to the shoulder of tube.

Alternate positions: Administer while seated on the toilet. Or, kneel, then lower head and chest forward until side of face is resting on the surface. With steady pressure, gently insert the tube into the rectum with care to prevent damage to the rectal wall. Squeeze to empty the contents. Keep the tube squeezed until it is removed from the rectum. After the contents have been emptied, remove the disposable tube and discard. A small amount of liquid may remain in the unit after use.
