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 having a bowel
movement. This helps relax the muscles around the anus. Squeeze the
bulb until nearly all liquid is
expelled. While continuing to squeeze the bulb, remove tip from rectum
and discard uni
