Only one tube should be used once a day.

1. Firstly, wash your hands thoroughly. Manoeuvre your body into a position that makes it easy for you to insert and dispense the enema. You might find it easier to lie on your side with your knees upwards toward your stomach.

2. Remove the cap from the tube’s nozzle and carefully insert the nozzle into your back passage.

3. Once the entire nozzle is inserted, gently squeeze the tube until it is empty. Keep squeezing the tube as you remove it to prevent medicine from being sucked back into up the tube.

4. Throw away the used tube in a bin. Do not flush the empty tube down the toilet.

5. Don’t forget to wash your hands after using the Enema.

All medicines carry the risk of side effects, though not everybody experiences them. It’s important to be aware of the risks associated with your medicine.

When used correctly, side effects of Micralax Micro-Enemas are unlikely.

However, using Micralax too often may cause diarrhoea and dehydration.
