Professional Use Warnings: 
Do not use in patients with  congestive heart failure, clinically significant impairment of renal function, ascities, known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, megacolon (congenital or acquired) or imperforate anus.  Use with caution in patients with impaired renal function, pre-existing electrolyte disturbances or in patients on diuretics or other medications which may affect electrolyte levels or other medications which may affect electrolyte levels or where colostomy exists.   Since Fleet ® 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 hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypernatremia, hypokalemia and acidosis may occur. This is of particular concern in children with megacolon or any other condition where there is retention of enema solution. Additional liquids by mouth are recommended. Carton sealed for safety.  If seal with Fleet emblem on top or bottom flap is broken or missing, do not use.

• Knee-chest position: Have child kneel, then lower head and chest forward until left side of face is resting on surface with left arm folded comfortably.

How to use this enema:

• Remove orange protective shield from enema comfort tip 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 child 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 keep child in position until urge to evacuate is strong (usually 2 to 5 minutes).
• Each 59-mL delivered dose contains: sodium 2.2g
• This product generally produces a bowel movement in 1-5 minutes
