瀉藥 - 膨脹性
Sterculia 是一種**膨脹性瀉藥**,在獸醫學中用於處理肛門腺阻塞、腹瀉、便秘,以及控制術後糞便的稠度。> **臨床警告:** 由於製劑接觸液體後會膨脹,因此必須搭配大量水分或濕食給藥,否則可能導致阻塞。
作用機制: Sterculia acts as a **bulk-forming agent**. It is inert and not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. It absorbs water → swells to form a gelatinous mass → increases **faecal mass** and volume → mechanically stimulates **peristalsis** and promotes normal bowel movements.
