  CAUTION:

  Remove green protective shield before inserting. Hold bottle upright, grasping bottle cap with fingers. Grasp protective shield with other hand and pull gently to remove.

  Positioning:

  Left-side position: lie on left side with knee bent and arms at rest.

  Knee-chest position: kneel, then lower head and chest forward until left side of face is resting on surface. Position arms comfortably.

  Administering enema:

  • with steady pressure, gently insert enema with tip pointing toward navel. • squeeze bottle until recommended dose is expelled (it is not necessary to empty unit completely. Bottle contains more liquid than needed for effective use. A small amount of liquid will remain in bottle after squeezing). • remove tip from 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. • maintain 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.
