How laxatives work?
Bulk-forming laxatives add bulk and water to your stools. The larger stools help trigger the bowel to contract and move the stools out. You must use bulk-forming laxatives daily for them to work. Start slowly and drink plenty of fluids. Gradually increase how much you use to reduce the chance of having any side effects.
Lubricant laxatives work by coating the surface of the stools. This helps the stools hold in water so they move out of the body more easily. Glycerin suppositories lubricate the inside of the anus (the outside opening to the intestine) to make it easier to pass hard stools.
Stool softeners help mix fluid into stools to soften them. This makes stools easier to pass out of the body.
Saline laxatives draw fluid into the bowel from nearby tissue. This softens stools and helps the bowel move them out.
Stimulant laxatives are the harshest laxatives. They cause the bowel to squeeze or contract to move the stools out. Stimulant laxatives should generally be used only when your doctor recommends them, such as if you’re preparing for a bowel exam or if you’ve just had surgery and shouldn’t strain to have a bowel movement.http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/otc-center/otc-medicines/861.html
