How To Use This Enema
• REMOVE BLUE PROTECTIVE SHIELD BEFORE INSERTING.
Hold bottle upright grasping bottle cap with fingers. Grasp protective shield with other hand and pull gently to remove.
• POSITIONING:
• Left-side position:
Lie on left side with knee bent and arms at rest.
• Knee-chest position:
Kneel, then lower head and chest forward until left side of face is resting on surface. Position arms comfortably.
• ADMINISTERING ENEMA:
• With steady pressure, gently insert enema tip into rectum with a slight side to side movement, with tip pointing toward naval. Insertion may be easier if person receiving enema bears down, as if having a bowel movement. This helps relax the muscles around the anus.
• Do not force the enema tip into rectum as this may cause injury.
• 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 tip from rectum and maintain position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 1-5 minutes).
• Discontinue use if resistance is encountered, forcing the enema can result in injury.
• Retain enema in accordance with doctor's instructions.
Warnings:
For rectal use only
Dosage Warning:
Using more than one enema in 24 hours can be harmful

Professional Use Warnings
Do not use
in patients with congestive heart failure, clinically significant impairment of renal function, ascites, known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, megacolon, or imperforate anus.
Use with caution
in patients with impaired renal function or pre-existing electrolyte disturbances, or in patients on diuretics or other medications which may affect electrolyte levels or where colostomy exists. Since Quality Choice Enema contains sodium phosphates, there is a risk of elevated serum levels of sodium and phosphate and decreased levels of calcium and potassium, and consequently hypernatremia, hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia and acidosis may occur. This is of particular concern in children with megacolon and any other condition where there is retention of enema solution. Additional liquids by mouth are recommended.
• This product generally produces a bowel movement in 1-5 minutes
• Carton sealed for safety. If seal on top flap is broken or missing, do not use.
