Stimulant laxatives are a pharmacological class of medications that promote defecation by directly acting on the intestinal mucosa and myenteric plexus to stimulate peristaltic smooth muscle contractions.
Concurrently, they alter fluid and electrolyte transport across the colonic epithelium, thereby reducing net water absorption and increasing luminal volume to facilitate bowel transit.
Agents in this class—most commonly bisacodyl, senna, and sodium picosulfate—are primarily indicated for the short-term relief of acute constipation, the management of opioid-induced constipation, and bowel evacuation prior to diagnostic procedures such as colonoscopy or surgery.
