Lubricant laxatives are a recognized therapeutic class of agents, primarily exemplified by mineral oil, used to treat occasional constipation and to prevent painful straining during defecation.
They function mechanically by coating the intestinal lumen and fecal matter with an immiscible hydrophobic film, which impedes the colonic reabsorption of water, maintains stool hydration, and eases fecal transit through the bowel.
Clinically, these agents are utilized for the short-term relief of constipation and are beneficial in settings where straining must be avoided, such as post-myocardial infarction, after perianal or abdominal surgery, or in patients with hemorrhoids and anal fissures.
