Children 6 to under 12 years of age can take one 5 mg suppository a day. For children under 6 years of age, you should consult a doctor. If you need to use a laxative for more than 7 days, please discuss with your doctor. 2
It’s simple. Remove the suppository from the plastic wrapping and insert the suppository, pointed end first, into the rectum. For best results, you should lie down for 15 to 20 minutes and try to retain the suppository for as long as you can. (To retain the suppository means to keep the suppository in the rectum.) They are not
intended for oral or vaginal use.2
