Microlax Enemas 12 x 5ml
Description:
MICROLAX Enema may be used whenever there is a need to relieve constipation or open the bowels, when there are certain disturbances of bowel movement or opening of the bowels and in preparation for examination of the rectum (back passage).
The combination of active substances releases the water compounded in the stool, thus loosening up the stool. The result is predictable relief within 30 minutes, like a normal bowel movement.
The laxative acts locally so it is unlikely to cause bowel habituation. MICROLAX Enema is gentle acting and can be used for children under 3 years of age and pregnant women.
Ingredients:
Each MICROLAX Enema tube contains the following active ingredients:
sodium citrate dihydrate 450 mg, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate 45 mg and sorbitol 3.125 g.
MICROLAX Enema also contains glycerol, sorbic acid and purified water to 5 ml.
Usage Directions:
1. Twist off the cap and squeeze a drop of the solution out of the tube – that will make it even easier to insert the tip of the tube.
2. Sit down on the toilet in your usual position or just squat down a little and insert the neck of the tube completely into your rectum. The small rounded tip is thinner than a suppository, and can be inserted safely and painlessly, even for children under 3
3. Gently squeeze out the entire contents (only 5ml) of the tube into the rectum.
4. Keeping the tube squeezed tightly, withdraw the tip from the rectum. Tighten your buttox muscles to prevent the solution from running out. Important: To allow stool to soften, it is important not to have a bowel movement immediately; you should wait at least 5 minutes.
5. There will be a gentle bowel movement within 30 minutes after use. It will likely be a normal bowel movement that can be controlled.
Storage:
Store below 30°C
Warnings:
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed on the carton. Drink plenty of water. Keep out of reach of children
