Uceris
Directions
How should I use UCERIS?
This medicine is for rectal use only. Do not take by mouth. Wash hands before and after use. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Before using foam, use the bathroom to empty the bowels. Use foam in a standing, lying or sitting position (e.g., while using the toilet). When using foam in the evening, use right before bedtime and do not try to have a bowel movement again until the next morning. Prepare the canister for use as directed. Use a new applicator for each dose. Place the forefinger on the top of pump dome and then turn the canister upside down. Insert the applicator gently into the rectum as far as it is comfortable. The easiest way to use foam is to keep one foot on the floor and raise the other foot onto a firm surface such as a chair or stool. Use the forefinger to fully push down the pump dome one time and hold it for about 2 seconds in that position. Release finger pressure on the pump dome and hold the applicator in place for 10 to 15 seconds. Remove the applicator. The foam will still expand a little and may drop out of the applicator or anus. Remove the applicator from the canister. Place the used applicator in the plastic bag provided. Throw the plastic bag away in household trash. Do not use your medicine more often than directed. Do not suddenly stop using your medicine because you may develop a severe reaction. Your doctor will tell you how much medicine to use. If your doctor wants you to stop using the medicine, the amount that you use may be slowly lowered over time to avoid any side effects.
Talk to your pediatrician regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.
Overdosage: If you think you have taken too much of UCERIS contact a poison control center or emergency room at once. NOTE: UCERIS is only for you. Do not share UCERIS 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.
