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.
For adults, the usual amount of solution instilled is 150 to 200 mL; for children, it is 75 to 100 mL. Medicated enemas may be given for the local effect they exert on the rectal mucosa. A common example is one containing the antibiotic neomycin, which is used to reduce bacteria in the colon before bowel surgery.
