Administering the laxative:
CAUTION: REMOVE ORANGE PROTECTIVE SHIELD BEFORE INSERTING.
Hold unit upright, grasping the bottle with fingers. Grasp protective shield with other hand, pull gently to remove. With steady pressure, insert tip into rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with tip pointing toward navel.
Do not force the applicator tip into the rectum, as this can cause injury. Insertion may be easier if person receiving suppository bears down as if having a bowel movement. This helps relax the muscles around the anus. Squeeze completely the accordion bottle to expel liquid. While continuing to squeeze the accordion bottle, remove tip from rectum and discard unit. The unit contains more than the amount of liquid needed for effective use. A small amount of liquid will remain in the unit after use.
