neostigmine (Prostigmine)
prokinetic agent. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. Counters ileus, broad stimulation of system.
tegaserod (Zelnorm)
prokinetic agent. Serotonin partial agonist. Use: females with irritable bowel syndrome (improves lower bowel motility when theres chronic constipation and bloating). Bad: Diarrhea and HA
magnesium citrate (MOM)
osmotic cathartic. Cause water retention. Mg stimulates CCK receptors and increases motility.
magnesium hydroxide
osmotic cathartic. Cause water retention. Mg stimulates CCK receptors and increases motility.
magnesium sulfate
osmotic cathartic. Cause water retention. Mg stimulates CCK receptors and increases motility.
polyethylene glycol (PEG) (GoLYTELY)
osmotic cathartic. Cause water retention.
lactulose (Cephulac)
osmotic laxative. Draw water into gut. Use: constipation with opioid use and vincristine. Drops luminal pH by bacerial fermentation, traps NH4 (liver Fx can increase amonia in blood)
mannitol
osmotic laxative. Draw water into gut. Use: constipation with opioid use and vincristine
sorbitol
osmotic laxative. Draw water into gut. Use: constipation with opioid use and vincristine
docusate (Colace)
wetting agent. Docusate salts are sufactans that allow mixing of fatty substances and water in stool. Effective as stool softeners. Do not increase pooping frequency. Not good for pts that are already compacted.
bisacodyl (Dulcolax)
irritant laxative, orally or rectally. Overdose causes catharsis. Important not to chew or mix with milk (gastric irritation causes projectile vomiting)
castor oil
smooth muscle stimulant (also induces labor). Made from Ricinus communis (castor bean). Oil full of triglyceride and ricinoleic acid. RA speeds motility in small bowel. 4mL=laxative effect in 4 hrs. 16mL=cathartic effect
glycerin
osmotic laxative. Suppository acts as hydroscopic agent and lubricant. Softens stool.
methylcellulose
bulk-forming laxative. Fiber based. Regular, soft stools. Exacerbate intestinal obstrucions? Adsorb other drugs? Wall paper paste, hydroxycut.
polycarbophil
bulk-forming laxative/antidiarrheal. Fiber based. Regular, soft stools. Exacerbate intestinal obstrucions? Adsorb other drugs?
psyllium
bulk-forming laxative. Fiber based grass seed husk. Regular, soft stools. Exacerbate intestinal obstrucions? Adsorb other drugs?
bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol)
antidiarrheal agent - with magnesium aluminium silicate and oil of wintergreen. Naturally pink. Salicylate (anti prostaglandin) released in stomach and absorbed systemically
diphenoxylate (Lomotil, Motofen)
antidiarrheal agent, opioid. Piperidine derivative. Can have CNS effects. Packaged with atropine to discourage abuse.
