Dr. Mark is asked to explain the mechanism of adsorbent drugs when they are used in the treatment of simple diarrhea. Which of the following statements should Mark choose?
A. The adsorbents act on the stool to permit water to penetrate the fecal mass. The oily nature of these laxatives eases the passage of the stool through the rectum. B. The adsorbents remain in the intestine, soak up water, and expand. The water, which is retained, softens the stool, and the swelling action distends the rectum and initiates defecation. C. The adsorbents are a mixture of sodium and magnesium salts. These ions attract water, which causes a more liquid stool to be formed. D. The adsorbents work in the intestine to form a complex with irritating substances such as bacteria, digestive enzymes, or toxins and carry them into the feces for elimination.
