Anthraglycosides [Anthraglycosida; Anthra(Quinones) + Glycoside]

Anthraglycosides are a group of drugs that are used as a laxative. They contain glycosides (glycoside derivatives), the aglycones of which are oxidized anthrone quinones.

Anthraglycosides have a mild laxative effect and are not addictive. They increase the volume of intestinal contents, which leads to easier bowel movements. Anthraglycosides can also have an antibacterial effect, reducing the number of bacteria in the intestines.

In medicine, anthraglycosides are used to treat constipation and other bowel disorders. They may be recommended as a preparation for colonoscopy and other medical procedures.

However, despite their effectiveness, anthraglycosides have a number of side effects, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. In addition, they may cause allergic reactions in some people. Therefore, before using anthraglycosides, you should consult your doctor and follow his recommendations.

Anthraglycoside is a glycoside based on oxidized anthraquinone and an ether base. They belong to the group of laxatives, which are used for medical purposes.

Anthraglucosides do not have a pronounced systemic effect and are almost completely re-excreted in the intestines and pelvic cavity. When taken orally, there is an increase in gastrointestinal motility and an increase in the volume of circulating fluid in the body. The effect appears 12 - 24 hours after administration.

The main part of antaglycoside is excreted from the body within 2 days.
