Preparing your suppository
1 Tear along the perforation to remove one
suppository blister from a blister strip.
3 Remove the suppository from the blister
before insertion. This is done by pushing
the suppository through the printed foil.
2 Put a protector on the finger with which
you will insert the suppository.
4 Insertion may be made easier if you
moisten the suppository with water first.
You should make sure that you empty your bowels
before inserting the suppository
5 Insert the suppository gently and fully
into the back passage. It may help to
lie down on one side and raise the
other knee.
7 Dispose of the empty blister and used
finger protector safely.
6 Remain still for a few minutes after
insertion to help keep the suppository in
place. If it comes out within 10 minutes,
a new one should be inserted.
8 Wash your hands.
