What is Laxative?

A Laxative is a medicine that helps empty the bowels to relieve constipation, a condition in which the bowels are not emptying regularly or completely, or to relieve irregular bowel movements.

There are four main categories of Laxatives: bulk-forming Laxatives, stimulant Laxatives, osmotic Laxatives, and stool softeners. There are three less commonly used Laxatives: lubricant Laxatives, prokinetic Laxatives, and saline Laxatives.

Bulk-forming Laxatives increase the size and water content of the stools, which stimulates the bowel to pass them. Metamucil and fiber belong to this category. Most bulk-forming Laxatives are gentle on the system and have few side effects, so they are the first type of Laxative that is advised to help constipation or irregularity.

Stimulant or irritant Laxatives chemically irritate the intestines to contract more energetically to move digestive materials and stools through and out the intestines faster. Ex-Lax and castor oil belong to this category. Most stimulant Laxatives are immediately effective but have numerous side effects including severe abdominal pain. Stimulant Laxatives are more appropriate for irregularity due to a slowing of the bowels rather than constipation.

Osmotic Laxatives pull water back into the colon from the surrounding tissue, making it easier to pass stools. Miralax and polyethylene glycol belong in this category. While osmotic Laxatives have fewer side effects than stimulant Laxatives, they only work for constipation and are not very dependable. They work best with a high intake of water.

Stool softeners change the surface tension of stools so that they absorb more water. The extra water makes stools softer and easier to pass. Dulcolax and docusate belong in this category. Stool softeners are gentle ways to treat constipation, particularly to reduce rectal pain and damage.

Lubricant Laxatives are similar to osmotic Laxatives, but rather than pulling water back out of the colon's tissues, lubricant Laxatives prevent the colon from absorbing water. Mineral oil belongs in this category.

Prokinetic Laxatives act on nerve cells to stimulate the small intestine to contract more energetically and so move their contents into the large intestine more quickly. Like stimulant Laxatives, prokinetic Laxatives are more appropriate to treat irregularity due to a slowing of the bowels. All prokinetic Laxatives are prescription drugs.

Saline Laxatives are similar to osmotic Laxatives, but they use mineral salts to pull water from the tissues into the intestines. Saline Laxatives are often the Laxative of choice to clear the colon in preparation for a colonoscopy.
