Stimulant laxatives - what does this mean

Stimulant laxatives work by stimulating the muscles in the walls of the intestines to produce increased contractions, which help to move the stool through the digestive tract more quickly. this can cause a rapid onset of bowel movements, which can help to relieve constipation.

What happens during the disease - stimulant laxatives

Stimulant laxatives work by increasing the movement of the intestines, which helps to soften and increase the bulk of stools. this in turn stimulates the muscles of the intestine to contract, which helps to move the stool through the intestines and out of the body. overuse of stimulant laxatives can lead to electrolyte imbalances, dehydration, and damage to the lining of the intestine, potentially leading to an increased risk of infection and inflammation.
