Cathartics by kvaishu882 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Cathartics are substances that promote defecation, primarily used for relieving constipation or cleansing the bowel before medical procedures. Key examples include Magnesium Sulphate and Sodium Orthophosphate, both saline cathartics that work by increasing osmotic pressure in the intestines, while Kaolin and Bentonite are adsorbents used for treating diarrhea. Side effects of cathartics can include dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, particularly with overuse.
