What is Understanding Cathartics in Poison Management about?

Cathartics are substances that accelerate defecation and are used to expel poisons from the gastrointestinal tract, with sorbitol and magnesium citrate being common types. However, studies indicate that the use of cathartics alone is ineffective in poison management, and their routine use with activated charcoal is not endorsed. Contraindications include bowel issues, recent trauma, and certain medical conditions, and complications can arise from both single and multiple doses.
