Hypertonic laxatives—more formally categorized in regulatory and medical terminology as hyperosmotic or saline osmotic laxatives—are bowel-evacuating agents containing poorly absorbed, hypertonic solutes such as sodium phosphates, magnesium salts, glycerin, or poorly absorbed sugars.
They function by generating a steep osmotic gradient within the gastrointestinal tract, drawing water from surrounding vascular and tissue spaces into the intestinal lumen.
This fluid influx softens the stool, increases intraluminal volume, and induces mechanical distension that stimulates propulsive peristalsis.
Clinically, these agents are primarily indicated for the acute relief of occasional constipation, rapid evacuation of the colon before diagnostic or surgical procedures such as colonoscopies, and management of acute fecal impaction.
