4. Empty the entire contents of the tube into the rectum by squeezing the shoulder of the tube.

WARNINGS AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
For rectal use only. MICROLAX should not be used in the presence of abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting. This product should not be used for a period longer than one week, unless directed by a doctor. If you have noticed a sudden change in bowel habits that has persisted for a period of greater than 2 weeks, consult a doctor before using the enema. Rectal bleeding or failure to have a bowel movement after use of a laxative may indicate a serious condition. Discontinue use and consult a doctor. Care should be taken when administering preparations containing sorbitol to patients with impaired kidney function or severe liver damage.
