Polycarbophil is a type of gastrointestinal drug used to treat constipation, diarrhea, and other digestive issues. It is a non-absorbable, water-soluble, polymeric compound that works by increasing the bulk of the stool and decreasing its water content. It is also used to treat irritable bowel syndrome and diverticular disease. Polycarbophil is available in both over-the-counter and prescription forms. It is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects. Polycarbophil is a popular choice for treating gastrointestinal issues due to its effectiveness and safety. It is often used in combination with other medications to treat more severe digestive issues. It is also used to prevent constipation in patients taking certain medications, such as opioids.
