A member asked:
Is it okay for me to take colace the day after i take a fleet enema (sodium bisphosphate)?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Colace (docusate sodium) is a softener and usually does not stimulate the GI tract. Enemas work by causing rectal distension which causes the rectum to evacuate the local contents. However, prolonged and frequent use of enemas can be irritating to the lining of the rectum.
