How Hydroxyethyl Cellulose + Glycerin works
When administered rectally, glycerin exerts a hygroscopic and/or local irritant action, drawing water from the tissues into the feces and reflexively stimulating evacuation. Glycerin decreases intraocular pressure by creating an osmotic gradient between the blood and intraocular fluid, causing fluid to move out of the aqueous and vitreous humors into the bloodstream.
Interacts with the solid surface through hydrogen bonding to thicken and prolong the formation time of a water-retaining film. Hydroxyethyl cellulose acts as a drug carrier or microsphere to entrap other drug molecules and form a viscous gel-like dispersion, enabling drug diffusion across biological membranes .
Dosage
Hydroxyethyl Cellulose + Glycerin dosage
Apply as required.
Side Effects
Glycerin when used rectally may cause rectal discomfort or a burning sensation
Toxicity
Glycerol has very low toxicity when ingested ; Rat LD50 (oral)-12600mg/kg Mice LD50 (oral )-4090mg/kg Human TDLo (oral) - 1428mg/kg
May cause chemical pneumonitis in case of inhalation and skin irritation. Animal data suggests potential alteration in female fertility.
Precaution
Only for external use. When using this product do not get into eyes.
Volume of Distribution
Glycerin is distributed throughout the blood. Although glycerin generally does not appear in ocular fluids, it may enter the orbital sac when the eye is inflamed, with a consequent decrease in osmotic effect.
Elimination Route
Well absorbed orally, poorly absorbed rectally. Studies in humans and animals indicate glycerol is rapidly absorbed in the intestine and the stomach
Half Life
30 - 45 minutes
Elimination Route
Approx 7-14% of dose is excreted unchanged in the urine within 2.5 hr.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use
