Description

Microlax works locally in the rectum where it is needed, without irritating the intestine. Microlax contains sodium citrate and sodium lauryl sulfoacetate which soften and increase the amount of fluid in the hard stool making them easier to pass.

  • Microlax offers fast-acting relief from constipation and is usually effective within 5 to 15 minutes.
  • The microenema is small in size with a narrow tube tip.
  • Hygienic, one-tube use.
  • Suitable for most children and adults.
  • Works locally in the rectum while not upsetting the intestine.

How to use:

Who can use Microlax Rectal Solution?

Microlax can be used by adults and children over 3 years of age.

  • Twist the seal of the nozzle.
  • Squeeze the tube slightly so that a drop of Microlax smears the tip and thus makes insertion easier.
  • Insert the nozzle fully into the rectum.
  • Squeeze out the contents fully by squeezing the shoulder of the tube.
  • Withdraw the nozzle, still squeezing tightly.
  • In children under 3 years of age, insert only half the length of the nozzle

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding

If you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant or breast feeding consult your doctor before purchasing or using Microlax.
