Directions

Single daily dosage (per 24 hours). Do not use if taking another sodium phosphates product. Do not use more unless directed by a doctor. See warnings.

  • Adults and children 12 years and over: 1 bottle per day.
  • Children 2 to 11 years: Use Fleet Pedia-Lax Enema.
  • 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 can occur. Additional liquids by mouth are recommended while taking this product. For complete professional use, warnings and precautions, consult the Reference Safety Information on our website.

How to use this enema:

  • Remove green wrapper with Fleet emblem and orange protective shield from enema Comfortip before inserting.
  • With steady pressure, gently insert enema tip into rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with tip pointing toward navel. Insertion may be easier if person receiving enema bears down, as if having a bowel movement. This helps relax the muscles around the anus. Stop using if tip is hard to insert. Forcing the 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 liquid is gone. It is not necessary to empty the bottle completely, as it contains more liquid than needed.
  • Remove Comfortip from rectum and maintain position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 1 to 5 minutes).

Position for using this enema: 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
