How should I use sfRowasa?

This medication is for rectal use only. Do not take by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Wash your hands before and after use. Shake well before using. Lie on your left side, extend the left leg and pull the right leg up towards your chest or pull both knees toward the chest. Take off the applicator tip cover and place the applicator tip gently into the rectum. Pointing the tip toward your stomach, squeeze the bottle steadily. Stay in position for at least 30 minutes to allow the medication to spread inside. For best results, use this medication before bedtime and after you have had a bowel movement. Try keeping the suspension in the rectum for 8 hours. Take your medication at regular intervals. Do not stop taking except on your care team's advice.
Talk to your care team about the use of this medication in children. Special care may be needed.

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