CAUTION: Remove orange protective shield before inserting. To do so, hold bottle upright with one hand and pull gently to remove.
- with steady pressure, gently insert enema tip into rectum with a side to side movement with tip pointing toward navel.
- stop using if tip is hard to insert. Forcing tip into the rectum can cause injury (especially if you have hemorrhoids). If enema tip causes rectal bleeding or pain, get immediate medical care.

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.
