Sunmark Mineral Oil Enema

Adults and children 12 years of age and older: Rectal enema dosage is 120 mL in a single daily dose. Children 2 to 11 years of age: Rectal enema dosage is 60 mL in a single daily dose, 1/2 of a bottle. (Children's dose of 60 mL can be measured by removing mineral oil from the bottle until volume is just below the words 'Mineral Oil' on the front face of the bottle.) Children under 2 years of age: Consult a doctor. For inserting enema: Caution: Remove orange protective shield before inserting. To do so hold bottle upright with one hand and pull gently to remove. Positioning: Left side position: Lie on left side with right knee bent and arms resting comfortably. Knee-chest position: Kneel, lower head and chest forward until left side of the face is resting on surface with arms resting comfortably. 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. Squeeze bottle until nearly all the liquid is released. It is not necessary to empty the bottle completely as it contains more liquid than needed. Remove from rectum. Maintain position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 2 to 15 minutes).
