Professional Use Warnings
Do not use in patients with megacolon, gastrointestinal obstruction, imperforate anus, or congestive heart failure.  Use with caution in patients with impaired renal function, pre-existing electrolyte disturbances, or a colostomy, or in patients on diuretics or other medications that may affect electrolyte levels.  Hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypernatremia, hypokalemia or acidosis may occur.

How to use: 

• Remove orange protective shield from enema Comfortip® before inserting.
• With steady pressure, gently insert enema tip into rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with tip pointing toward navel.  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 can 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 Comfortip® from rectum and maintain position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 2 to 5 minutes)
