It may be helpful to lubricate the cannula with a drop of the solution itself, before inserting it into the rectum and pressing the bellows. Remove the cannula while holding the bellows pressed. Each container should be used for a single administration; any remaining medicine should be discarded. In children under twelve years of age, the medicine should be used only after consulting a doctor. Laxatives should be used as infrequently as possible and for no longer than seven days (see section 4.4). A diet rich in fluids promotes the effect of the medicine.
