Ingredients

Mineral Oil USP 100%

Dosage

Adults and children 12 years of age and older: Rectal enema dosage is 120 mL in a single daily dose. Children 2 to 11 years of age: Rectal enema dosage is 60 mL in a single daily dose, 1/2 of a bottle. (Childrens dose of 60 mL can be measured by removing mineral oil from the bottle until volume is just below the words Mineral Oil on the front face of the bottle.) Children under 2 years of age: Consult a doctor. For inserting enema: Caution: Remove orange protective shield before inserting. To do so hold bottle upright with one hand and pull gently to remove. Positioning: Left side position: Lie on left side with right knee bent and arms resting comfortably. Knee-chest position: Kneel, lower head and chest forward until left side of the face is resting on surface with arms resting comfortably. With steady pressure, gently insert enema tip into rectum with a side to side movement with tip pointing toward navel. Stop using if tip is hard to insert. Forcing tip into the rectum can cause injury (especially if you have hemorrhoids). If enema tip causes rectal bleeding or pain, get immediate medical care. Squeeze bottle until nearly all the liquid is released. It is not necessary to empty the bottle completely as it contains more liquid than needed. Remove from rectum. Maintain position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 2 to 15 minutes).

Do not use: if you have abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting unless directed by a doctor; longer than one week unless directed by a doctor; more than one enema per day unless directed by a doctor. Consult a doctor prior to use: if you have noticed a sudden change in bowel habits that persists over a period of 2 weeks; if you have rectal bleeding or failure to have a bowel movement after use of a laxative. This may indicate a serious condition; if you are pregnant or nursing a baby. Keep out of reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion or overdose, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.
