- Dosage
- <p><strong>DOSAGE ADMINISTRATION</strong><br>
<u>Oral Administration</u><br>
The recommended oral adult dose is 60 mL (4 tablespoons) of suspension (15g of resin) given one to four times a day. This should be accompanied by frequent serum potassium determinations. A lower dose of the resin is recommended for children.</p>
<p><u>Rectal Administration</u><br>
The suspension may be given as a retention enema but due to less effective potassium exchange, it is recommended that 120 to 180 mL of suspension should be used (30 to 45 g of resin). The suspension should be administered following a cleansing enema. The suspension is administered at body temperature.</p>
<p><u>Directions</u><br>
The following steps should be performed for the proper rectal use of the enema bottle.</p>
<ol>
<li>Shake first the 500ml suspension bottle.</li>
<li>Pour slowly into a disposable enema bottle (120ml) up to the grid mark and then cover tightly with the lubricated tip cap.</li>
<li>Place the capped bottle in warm water five minutes before administration.</li>
<li>Lay the recipient in preferred positions: Lying on left side with knees flexed, or in the knee-chest position. Remove protective cap from a pre-lubricated rectal tube before using.</li>
<li>Shake the bottle and aim the tip of the applicator upward then push the tip into the rectum and slide it gently in about 3 inches.</li>
<li>Slowly squeeze the enema bottle to release the content when the tip has been inserted into the rectum.</li>
<li>Once the enema bottle has been emptied, remove the tip from the rectum and remain in position for 3–5 minutes or until a strong urge to have a bowel movement is felt.</li>
</ol>
