Purpose
Hyperosmotic laxativeUses
■ for relief of occasional constipation ■ this product usually produces bowel movement in 1/4 to 1 hourDirections
Directions Single daily dosage (per 24 hours) Children 2 to under 6 years: 1 suppository per day or as directed by a doctor Children under 2 years: consult a doctor Administering the laxative: Caution: Remove Orange Protective Shield Before Inserting. Hold unit upright, grasping bulb of unit with fingers. Grasp orange protective shield with other hand, pull gently to remove. With steady pressure, gently insert tip into rectum with a slight side-to-side movement, with tip pointing toward navel. Discontinue use if resistance is encountered. Forcing the tip can result in injury. Insertion may be easier if child receiving suppository bears down as if having a bowel movement. This helps relax the muscles around the anus. Squeeze bulb until nearly all liquid is expelled. While continuing to squeeze the bulb, remove tip from rectum and discard unit. It is not necessary to empty unit completely. The unit contains more than the amount of liquid needed for effective use. A small amount of liquid will remain in the unit after squeezing. Left-side position: Place child on left side with knees bent and arms resting comfortably. Knee-chest position: Have child kneel, then lower head and chest forward until left side of face is resting on surface with left arm folded comfortably.Inactive ingredients

My daughter was constipated and I decided to try this bc my momma heart broke hearing her grunt and make noises while she's trying to poop. I did this within 8-10 mins she pooped. It was still a little hard but she was absolutely much happier after
Works really fast!

The only thing that worked for our three year old. We used half the liquid in the applicator and in less than five minutes it worked with no pain! Save yourself the trouble of other meds and go straight to this!
Works like magic!

So, my 2 yr old has been sick for about 5 days now and since then she hasn't had a bowel movement. My husband and I decided to get something to help with her constipation because she's been complaining about her stomach hurting her. Anyway, we came across this product and after carefully reading the reviews, we decided to give it a try. Itbwas uncomfortable for my daughter and I added extra lube. I know it says 15-60 mins, but within SECONDS it worked!!!! My daughter felt relieved and we're all happy! I highly recommend and I will 100% be getting more for future needs.

Instant and I mean instant relief, less than 30 seconds. My baby has been constipated for a while. I took her to her pediatrician who prescribed a powder laxative. That wasn’t working, I decided to look up suppositories and I ran and brought this one. As soon as I inserted the syringe my baby went to the bathroom
It Works !!!

Highly recommend this product to all moms dealing with a constipated toddler! My little one had been struggling with constipation for an entire week, only managing to poop every two days. I was hesitant to use a suppository and decided to try this as a last resort—and it worked wonders! Within minutes of administering it, my toddler was able to get relief. This product is incredibly effective, and I cannot recommend it enough. Don’t wait—use it right away! Thank you for such a great solution.

The tube you have to insert is too wide for a little toddler, and the material should be soft, not a hard plastic one. I definitely don’t recommend this product.

My toddler is a picky eater and due to what she chooses to eat often gets constipated. We keep it under check with probiotic gummies. But everyonce in a while she's gotten so constipated I had no idea what to do help her out. When my doctor remmended this I jumped on the app and picked this up. We've had to use it a couple hand fulls of times in the last two years. And every time when my toddler is given the full dose there is a bowl movement within 5-15 minutes.
AMAZING!!

I try everything on myself before I give it to my child, I dont know why these were not tested by adults before putting it on the market but they burn SO bad. I have used suppositories before but never ever had a burn like this. I can only imagine how bad it is for little kids. They should stop selling this!

I rarely write reviews but this thing worked like a charm. My toddler has been holding in her poop even though she’s not constipated. It’s been about 4 days and she’s just struggling trying not to poo. I bought this and it worked within minutes. I used an old Tylenol syringe instead of the applicator it came with. I put some aquaphor at the tip and she didn’t even flinch or anything. Just buy if needed.

I usually don’t write reviews but this was the most amazing product I’ve used in my three years of parenting. Okay that’s a stretch. Buts it’s good. My toddler was having a very difficult time passing a BM and within minutes of me using this, she was able to pass BM’s pretty easily. I hate to see her sick or uncomfortable so this product allowed me to help her little body do something hard.
Got the job done fast!!

My 3.5 year old son has autism and when we started to potty train he stopped pooping all together. He went eight whole days without pooping. This worked immediately! I administered it with zero issues and we went straight to the toilet to wait. Not even 2 minutes later he had a poop. This product works great.
5 stars isn't enough. Relief in 4 minutes.

This product looks terrifying to me as a typical mother who has no desire to insert anything into my child's booty. But we were desperate after my 2 year old had spent the better part of 12 hours grunting like he was pushing out a bowling ball and getting nothing out with sporadic hysterical crying while pushing. We tried laxatives, but after the maximum safe dose of 45 ml for a child, 7 hours later we still had zero bowel movements. So I broke down and said we are committing to this level of parenting. We bought the suppository and read the short but simple directions to become the least prepared medical professional you could imagine, took our desperately crying child out of the bed he was absolutely not sleeping in and put him in the left side laying position. Insertion was easy, liquid came out well, and we rubbed his head while he watched a 4 minute Winnie the Pooh video before we sat him up to put him back in bed. Immediately his diaper dropped, with a truly massive poop with a diameter of a baseball. 4 minutes and he was happy and singing in his crib for an hour before he fell asleep. It seems scary to use, but your kid can be out of pain in 4 minutes, so 10/10 recommend.
Thankful for this product

Never thought I’d refer to a laxative as awesome, but this helped our 3 year old so much. He came down with a stomach bug last week and had diarrhea for a few days. It was the first time he had seen diarrhea in the potty and it freaked him out, so he was holding his poop in for four days. We went to his pediatrician today and they recommended this one. I took the advice of another mom on here and used an old Tylenol infant syringe instead with Vaseline on it. Our son literally ran to the potty 30 seconds after we put the stuff in. He pooped so much out tonight and felt so much better. And was happy to see that his poop was not watery anymore according to him, and regular again.
Worked immediately!!

This product worked in less than 3 minutes for my son who is 3.5yrs and was extremely constipated. Trying to get all the liquid in while fighting an alligator is pretty tough but absolutely worth it!!
