Administering the Laxative: Caution: Remove orange protective shield before inserting. Hold unit upright, grasping bulb of unit with fingers. Grasp orange protective shield with other hand, pull gently to remove. With steady pressure, gently insert tip into rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with tip pointing toward navel. Discontinue use if resistance is encountered. Forcing the tip can result in injury. Insertion may be easier if child receiving suppository bears down, as if in having a bowel movement. This helps relax the muscles around the anus. Squeeze bulb until nearly all liquid is expelled. While continuing to squeeze the bulb, remove tip from rectum and discard unit. It is not necessary to empty unit completely. Unit contains more than the amount of liquid needed for effective use. A small amount of liquid will remain in unit after squeezing.
Other information: this product generally produces bowel movement in 1/4 to 1 hour. Carton sealed for safety. If seal with Fleet emblem on bottom flap or top flap is broken or missing, do not use.
