lüll Review article: the therapy of constipation Schiller LRAliment Pharmacol Ther 2001[Jun]; 15 (6): 749-63Constipation is a common symptom that may be idiopathic or due to various identifiable disease processes. Laxatives are agents that add bulk to intestinal contents, that retain water within the bowel lumen by virtue of osmotic effects, or that stimulate intestinal secretion or motility, thereby increasing the frequency and ease of defecation. Drugs which improve constipation by stimulating gastrointestinal motility by direct actions on the enteric nervous system are under development. Other modalities used to treat constipation include biofeedback and surgery. Laxatives and lavage solutions are also used for colon preparation and evacuation of the bowels after toxic ingestions.|*Gastrointestinal Motility[MESH]|Biofeedback, Psychology[MESH]|Cathartics/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Colon/drug effects/pathology[MESH]|Constipation/*therapy[MESH]|Fluid Therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lubrication[MESH]|Neuromuscular Agents/therapeutic use[MESH]|Therapeutic Irrigation[MESH] |
