What is Polyglycol Laxatives Market Scope?
Laxatives, laxatives, or aperitifs are substances that loosen stool and increase bowel movements. They are used to treat and prevent constipation. Laxatives vary in terms of how they work and the possible side effects. Certain stimulants, lubricants, and saline laxatives are used to evacuate the colon for rectal and bowel exams and may be supplemented with enemas in certain circumstances. High enough doses of laxatives can cause diarrhea. Some laxatives combine more than one active ingredient. Laxatives can be administered orally or rectally. Although patients with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa often misuse laxatives to lose weight, laxatives speed up the passage of feces across the large intestine, which occurs after the small intestine has finished absorbing nutrients. Laxative abuse studies have therefore shown that the effects on body weight are primarily due to temporary losses of body water rather than energy (calorie) losses. Doctors caution against chronic laxative use as they fear that chronic use could cause colon tissue to wear out over time, making it impossible to expel feces due to long-term overstimulation. A common finding in people who have used laxatives is a brown pigment known as melanosis coli deposited in the intestinal tissue.
