Monobasic sodium phosphate + Dibasic sodium phosphate

This is used for relief of occasional constipation. This product usually produces a bowel movement in 1 to 5 minutes.

Adults and children, 12 years and over: One Bottle per day.
Children between 2 and 11 years: Use this laxative preparation.
Children under 2 years: Do not use.

If no urge is felt after 5 minutes of using, try to empty bowel. Call a doctor promptly if no liquid comes out of the rectum after 30 minutes because dehydration could occur.

Administration

• Remove the orange protective shield from this before inserting.
• With steady pressure, gently insert this bottle tip into the rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with the tip pointing toward the navel. Insertion may be easier if the person receiving this bears down as if having a bowel movement. This helps relax the muscles around the anus.
• Stop using if the tip is hard to insert. Forcing the tip into the rectum can cause injury (especially if you have hemorrhoids). If this bottle tip causes rectal bleeding or pain, get immediate medical care.
• Squeeze bottle until nearly all liquid is gone. It is not necessary to empty the bottle completely, as it contains more liquid than needed.
• Remove the tip from the rectum and maintain position until the urge to evacuate is strong (usually 1 to 5 minutes).

Positions for using this:

• Left-side position: Lie on left side with knee bent, and arms resting comfortably.
• Knee-chest position: kneel, then lower head and chest forward until left side of face is resting on surface with left arm folded comfortably.

If no urge is felt after 5 minutes of using, try to empty bowel. Call a doctor promptly if no liquid comes out of the rectum after 30 minutes because dehydration could occur.
