Poisoning from stimulant laxatives occurs when a person takes too much of these drugs, which stimulate the muscles of the intestines to contract and push out the stool, resulting in dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and potentially life-threatening consequences.
What happens during the disease - poisoning: stimulant laxatives
The pathogenesis of poisoning by stimulant laxatives is due to the irritation of the gastrointestinal mucosa caused by the active ingredients of the laxatives. this irritation leads to an increased secretion of water and electrolytes into the lumen of the intestine, resulting in an osmotic diarrhea and an electrolyte imbalance. this can cause dehydration, electrolyte disturbances, and metabolic acidosis, which can lead to a range of symptoms including nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and dehydration.
