How to use Scheriproct suppositories
Always use Scheriproct as directed by your doctor or pharmacist and for no longer than 7 days. Always wash your hands before and after applying Scheriproct. How to use Scheriproct Suppositories: 1. Before you insert a suppository find the small tear in the foil packet and remove the covering foil, by tearing it in half. 2. If the suppositories have become softened, owing to warm temperature, they can be hardened by putting them into cold water before you remove the covering foil. 3. Insert the whole suppository into the anus. 4. To make insertion easier, either stand with one foot raised on a chair or squat down. The usual treatment is one suppository a day, to be inserted preferably after a bowel movement. However, if your discomfort is severe, you should insert one suppository two or three times a day at the start of treatment.Do not use Scheriproct Suppositories :
