The osmotic saline laxative work by causing an osmotic effect. This osmotic effect takes place primarily within the small intestines. This causes, eventually, a movement of the bowels.

What osmotic effect would injecting a patient with a 10 percent saline solution have?
hypertonic effect
Is saline a compound or an element?
Saline is a mixture.
What is the difference between normal saline and physiologic saline?
normal saline is 0.85%w/v NaCl whlist physiological saline is 0.90% w/v NaCl.
Which is more viscous pure water or saline water?
The saline water is more viscous.
Do you mix ceftriaxone with normal saline or sterile water?
Normal saline
What are some different types of laxatives?
There are many types of laxatives. The three primary types are osmotic, saline and stimulant laxatives. Each type has a different mechanism of action and different side effects. Dependency is an important factor to consider when taking any type of laxative.
What is saline solution percent has same osmotic pressure as erythrocytes?
0.9%
How does 09 percent NaCl work?
The solution of NaCl with the concentration 0,9 % is considered normal saline; the osmotic pressure is equal to the pressure in the cells.
Why is saline used in serial dilution?
Because the osmotic pressure of "plain" water can be too much for bacteria, causing them to pop, and throw off your colony counts during your serial dilutions. A buffered saline solution keeps the bacteria at their usual osmotic pressure. Typical saline is 0.85%.

What is osmotic diarrhea?
Osmotic diarrhea is a combination of regular diarrhea and extreme pressure in the anus. This pressure can cause the diarrhea to push out uncontrollably in a sometimes volcanic fashion. It involves too much water into the bowel movement system. Sometimes caused by osmotic laxatives.
What is the osmotic pressure of saline?
Osmotic pressure of saline (0.91% NaCl w/v) is arround 0.0085 ATM.The osmotic pressure is 7.58 ATM at 25 °C. P=MRT The molarity of 0.9% NaCl is 0.155M. But it has 2 ions per formula so 0.31 mol/L * 0.082 latm/Kmol * 298K= 7.58 ATM
Is osmotic laxatives can used for treating a patients with rheumatic arthritis?
There is no serious evidence that osmotic laxatives can help with rheumatoid arthritis or any other form of arthritis. Long term use of any form of laxative can have negative side effects on your health.
What is physiodose NaCl 9?
This a saline solution with the concentration of 0,9 g NaCl/100 mL distilled water. This is a isotonic solution; the meaning is that the osmotic pressure of the this solution is equal to the osmotic pressure of the blood serum.
Do expired laxatives work?
Yes
What are some examples of saline cathartic laxatives?
Saline cathartics include dibasic sodium phosphate (Phospo-Soda), magnesium citrate, magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia), magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts), sodium biphosphate
