Description
CE Medical Device, class IIb.
Micro-enema based on honey, which combines a balanced evacuating action with a protective and soothing action on the rectal mucosa, useful for counteracting discomfort, irritation and inflammation, present in case of constipation.
The double action of Melilax is obtained thanks to PROMELAXIN, an active complex of nectar and honeydew honeys specially selected and processed based on their content of monosaccharides, polysaccharides and melanoidins, enriched with the polysaccharide fraction from Aloe and Mallow.
Melilax has a non-irritating evacuating action and therefore induces a physiological and balanced stimulus for activating defecation. Furthermore, Melilax, thanks to its mucilage-like properties and its viscosity, protects the rectal mucosa during the passage of faeces, mimicking the lubricating action of physiological mucus. These particular properties, combined with the antioxidant action, give the product the ability to protect and soothe the mucosa, performing an indirect anti-inflammatory action due to the physical characteristics of the product.
Melilax is indicated for the treatment of constipation, even in the presence of visceral hypersensitivity (as in the case of irritable bowel), anal fissures and haemorrhoids.
Melilax Pediatric is indicated for children and infants.

Instructions for use
• Children aged 3-12: 1 x 5g micro-enema as needed. In case of stubborn constipation, apply 2 doses consecutively.
• Children aged 1-3: 1 x 5g micro-enema as needed.
• Infants aged 0-1: half a 5g micro-enema as needed.

Open the micro-enema by removing the safety cannula cap:
- grasp the white round ring located above the bellows;
- with the other hand, bend the cannula cap until it breaks and detaches completely from the ring;
- remove the cannula cap.
To facilitate the application of the micro-enema, it is preferable to position the child on their left side with their knees bent towards the abdomen.
Apply a few drops of the product to the perianal area and gently insert the cannula into the rectum. Fully press the micro-enema and at the end of the application, keep it pressed until the cannula is completely removed, to prevent the product from being re-aspirated.
