Abstract

The article considers modern views on the types of constipation, presents the treatment approaches taking into account features of development of constipation and its pathogenic characteristics, and provides a detailed classification of laxatives with the description of their mechanisms of action. The authors propose an algorithm of treatment of constipation and selection of laxatives based on the etiopathogenetic parameters of constipation. The advantages and disadvantages of different groups of laxatives are described; correct use of stimulant laxatives is emphasized.
