Children and Adults: Twist and pull the seal off the nozzle. Squeeze the tube slightly so that a drop of Microlax smears the tip and thus makes insertion easier.

Squeeze out the contents fully by squeezing the shoulder of the blue. Keeping the tube squeezed tightly, withdraw the nozzle.

Prolonged use of laxatives is undesirable and may lead to dependence. If symptoms persist seek medical advice. Do not use if: Allergic to any of the ingredients listed on the carton. The cap is separated from the tube as it has been opened. Do not remove tube from carton until immediately before use. Always read the label. Follow the directions for use.
