Microlax Enema 5ml Tubes

Product Description:

Microlax is a fast acting enema used to relieve constipation or open the bowels.

Directions:

Administer the contents of one tube rectally as a single dose.
Children and Adults:

• Twist and pull the seal off the nozzle.
• Squeeze the tube slightly so that a drop of Microlax smears the tip and thus makes insertion easier.
• Insert the nozzle fully into the rectum (back passage). In children under 3 years of age insert only half the length of the nozzle (see the indication on the nozzle).
• Squeeze out the contents fully by squeezing the shoulder of the blue.
• Keeping the tube squeezed tightly, withdraw the nozzle.
• Read the package insert for more information

General recommendations for laxatives:

• Drink plenty of water.
• Increase fibre in the diet except in cases of medication-induced constipation.
• Prolonged use of laxatives is undesirable and may lead to dependence.
• If symptoms persist seek medical advice
