Laxatives funds can be divided into 5 groups. In each of them there are the most effective drugs which differ in mechanism of action. The first group includes irritating drugs - they are the most effective and fast time actions. These include "But", "Bisacodyl", "Guttalaks," and good help from natural Senna leaves, castor oil and buckthorn bark. Mechanism of action they have in common is irritation of receptors of the colon. This stimulates peristalsis, laxative effect occurs about 10 hours after ingestion. Often these substances can not be accepted, as they can cause atrophy of the receptors and dysbiosis.

The second group may include osmotic laxatives, which hold a large amount of fluid in the lumen of the intestine, and the stool due to this SAG. They are effective and do not cause the syndrome of "lazy bowel". With prolonged intake, especially the elderly, may be insufficient quantity of salts of sodium and potassium. Citrate and polyethylene glycol are examples of the most effective osmotic laxative.
