To demonstrate the kinetics of the absorption process, the absorptive capacity of plantago seed was measured in terms of time. Agiolax in solution increased to seven times its original volume within approx. 90 minutes; after 2½ hours Agiolax in solution increased to eight times its original volume. The pharmaceutical processing of the plantago seeds and ispaghula husks into granules guarantees a speedy and thorough moistening in the intestine, which is necessary for the mechanism of action of Agiolax. Should it be used as a powder and not as a granule, the swelling process would begin too early as a result of its hygroscopic properties. The swelling of the plantago seeds acts physically as a dilation stimulus on the sensitive receptors in the intestinal wall. This initiates a gastrocolic and ileocolic reflex. The dilation stimulus is assisted by the glucosides in the senna fruits, which increase the sensitivity of the receptors in the intestinal wall. An irritation of the intestinal mucosa cannot take place as the senna glucosides are incorporated into the mucilage, from which they are gradually released. Diarrhoea has not been noted when the recommended dosage is adhered to. Even in the higher sections of the large intestine, the intestinal contents take on a stool-like character, owing to the indigestible hemicelluloses, which explains the suitability of Agiolax as a stool forming agent in cases of anus praeternaturalis (one teaspoonful of Agiolax in the evening suffices). No dependence occurs even when it is necessary for Agiolax to be taken over a long period of time. As constipation is eliminated in a physiological manner no side-effects have been found or can be expected on the liver, stomach, kidneys, heart or blood circulation. The following tests were undertaken 3 times during a treatment period of 12 months: differential blood count, ESR, Weltmann’s coagulation band, thymol turbidity, residual-nitrogen, prostigmine test and gastric acid and diastase determinations. X-ray control of the stomach, intestines and gall-bladder showed no deviations from normal, which could be attributed to Agiolax therapy). explains the suitability of Agiolax as a stool forming agent in cases of anus praeternaturalis (one teaspoonful of Agiolax in the evening suffices).
