Definitions of constipation vary, but in general are related to straining at stool, reduced frequency of defecation and/or a sensation of incomplete bowel emptying. These definitions are reflective of
the effectiveness of colonic transit (movement of contents around the large bowel) and emptying, and may also be associated
with irritable bowel syndrome. This paper provides an overview
of constipation, its classification, and management approaches commonly used in an attempt to relieve symptoms. An exploration of pharmacological agents provides an overview of current evidence based practice surrounding the prescribing of medicines suitable for individuals (adults) presenting with constipation, in addition to more conservative methods such as lifestyle and dietary modification.
