How should I use Fleet?

This medicine is for rectal use only. Do not take it by mouth. Take it as directed on the label. Do not use more often than directed. Wash your hands before and after use. Take off the foil wrapping. Wet the tip of the suppository with cold water to make it easier to use. Lie on your side with your lower leg straightened out and your upper leg bent forward toward your stomach. Lift upper buttock to expose the rectal area. Apply gentle pressure to insert the suppository completely into the rectum. Hold buttocks together for a few seconds. Remain lying down for about 15 minutes to avoid having the suppository come out.
Talk to your health care provider about the use of this medicine in children. While it may be given children as young as 2 years old for selected conditions, precautions do apply.

Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of Fleet contact a poison control center or emergency room at once. NOTE: Fleet is only for you. Do not share Fleet with others.

What if I miss a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, take only that dose. Do not take double or extra doses.
