Step 1: Gather Your Supplies

Before you begin, ensure you have everything you need:

• Preparation H® Suppositories
• A clean towel or tissue
• Optional: Lubricant (like water-based gel) for easier insertion

Step 2: Prepare Yourself

• Find a Comfortable Position: You can either lie on your side with your knees drawn up or stand with one foot elevated on a stool. Choose what feels best for you.
• Wash Your Hands: Clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water to prevent infection.

Step 3: Remove the Suppository from Packaging

• Open the Wrapper: Carefully remove the suppository from its packaging. Avoid using sharp objects that might damage the suppository.

Step 4: Apply Lubricant (Optional)

• Add Lubricant: If desired, apply a small amount of lubricant to the tip of the suppository. This step can help make insertion smoother.

Step 5: Insert the Suppository

• Gently Insert the Suppository:
  • Hold the suppository with the pointed end facing forward.
  • Gently insert it into the rectum, aiming it towards the back.
  • Push it in about 1 inch or until it is comfortably seated.
• Avoid Forcing It: If you encounter resistance, relax and try again.

Step 6: Remain in Position

• Stay in Place: After insertion, remain in your chosen position for a few minutes to allow the suppository to dissolve and start working effectively.

Step 7: Clean Up

• Dispose of Packaging: Throw away the used wrapper and any tissues used during the process.
• Wash Your Hands Again: Clean your hands thoroughly to maintain hygiene.
