How to Use
-
- Twist and pull the seal off the nozzle.
- Squeeze the tube slightly so that a drop of MICROLAX® solution appears at the tip in order to provide lubrication for easier insertion. For children under 3 years of age, only half the length of the nozzle should be inserted into the rectum (as indicated on the nozzle).
- Gently squeeze the full contents of the tube (5 ml) into the rectum.
- Remove tube neck from the rectum, keeping the tube compressed. Slightly tense your buttocks to prevent the solution running out and throw the used microenema away.
- Within 5-15 minutes of application, you should be able to gently empty your bowels without suffering the unwanted effects other laxatives can bring.
After use, dispose of the microenema – so easy and hygienic.
