NCIt definition : An enema containing the osmotic agent polyethylene glycol (PEG) 3350, also called
macrogol 3350, with laxative activity. Upon rectal administration of the PEG3350-containing
enema NER1008, PEG creates an osmotic gradient, which promotes the retention of water
in the bowel. This increases the water content of stool, which results in increased
gastrointestinal (GI) motility, decreased stool transit time and evacuation of colonic
contents.;
