Microlax Rectal Solution

Always use this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or exactly as discussed with your doctor or pharmacist. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.


The recommended dose is:

for adults and children if necessary 1 mini enema
for infants and toddlers under 3 years, half a mini enema



One dosage unit (1 mini enema or half a mini enema) is usually sufficient. Microlax is a disposable enema for use in the rectum (rectal use). It should be applied 5 to 20 minutes before the desired effect.

If only part of the enema contents is used, the remaining rectal solution should be discarded. For infants and small children under 3 years of age, the tube neck may only be inserted halfway (marking on the tube neck). Please talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have the impression that the effect of Microlax is too strong or too weak. If you have any further questions about using this medicine, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
