On the therapy of constipation, there are few reports that surveyed the actual circumstance of patients taking laxatives and the effectiveness of the drug. In this study, we investigated the contents in prescription, the actual conditions of administration of laxatives, and the subjective symptoms of inpatients in all wards of Kanazawa University hospital(2000.12.1〜2000.12.10). As a result of the investigation, the percentage of patients prescribed some laxatives was found to be about 31.5%(274)of all hospitalized patients(871), and among them about 16%(43)of the patients had some problems in defecation control. One of the causes leading to the problems for some patients(11)among them seemed to be due to the lesser amount of magnesium oxide takenper day. Then, in the ophthalmology ward we further investigated the proper use of laxatives and the defecation condition of the patient using a questionnaire paper and a record paper(20 cases). Patients became constipated by hospitalization, and although being administered some laxatives, they were often insufficient to control the defecation. Some patients(7)with changeable defecation control could be improved by change or addition or prescription. Pharmacist concerned 5 cases of patients with change or addition or prescription. This study indicates that pharmacists should actively offer information and rational usage of laxatives to doctors and patients.
