Method of administration

At the chosen time of administration, remove the cap that covers the tip of the cannula and, holding the cannula vertically upwards, gently press to allow a few drops of the preparation to moisten the tip of the cannula to facilitate the introduction of the applicator into the rectum.

After introduction into the rectum, express the contents of the applicator and, when it is empty, remove it, continuing to squeeze the walls of the applicator.

Each applicator is filled with an excess of the product, which remains in the applicator after use.
