Treatment 2: irritant cathartic: also known as contact cathartic, this kind of cathartic has strong cathartic effect because it can stimulate the intestinal mucosa and affect the absorption of water and electrolyte in the intestine. Plant laxatives such as rhubarb, senna and aloe contain anthraquinone glycosides, which play a cathartic role only when they are decomposed into anthraquinone by bacteria in the intestinal tract. Long term use of strong irritant cathartic can cause drug dependence of patients. In addition, long-term use can also lead to melanosis coli. Due to its strong intestinal irritation, magnesium sulfate and other salt cathartic can also be summarized in this category.
Treatment 3: softening cathartic: it is a surfactant, which can easily mix fat and water in feces, and increase intestinal secretion, such as sodium octyl butyrate (calcium). It is usually taken orally and does not absorb itself, but it can increase the absorption of other substances. Because of hepatotoxicity, it can only be used for 1-2 weeks, not for chronic constipation.
