Fleet is a common over-the-counter enema sold as a âsaline enemaâ that uses the active ingredient sodium phosphate to get you unstuck. It acts primarily by drawing water into the colon, which loosens stools and increases gut motility.
A cleansing enema can be either large-or small-volume. It acts by stimulating peristalsis by instilling a solution or irritating the mucosa of the colon. Solutions used for cleansing enemas are tap water, normal saline, and a soapsuds solution. The amount of solution instilled varies with the patientâs age. Because infants and children are at risk for fluid and electrolyte imbalances, they should only receive normal saline enemas. Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride) is an isotonic solution, so it does not pull electrolytes from the body.
