The pronunciation of some letters is dissimilar in European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese, because the Portuguese is a pluricentric language.
Laxatives (purgatives, aperients) are foods, compounds, or drugs taken to induce bowel movements or to loosen the stool most often taken to treat costipation . Certain stimulant, lubricant, and saline laxatives are used to evacuate the colon for rectal and/or bowel examinations, and may be supplemented by enemas under certain circumstances. Sufficiently high doses of laxatives cause diarrhoea. Laxatives work to increase the movement of fecal matter along the colon.
They come in pill or liquid form, and the active ingredients can include bisacodyl as well as two all-natural options, cascara and senna. Stimulant laxatives work by increasing the muscle contractions in the intestinal wall. These contractions are responsible for moving waste along to the rectum for evacuation.
