A contemporary perspective on the use of rectal laxatives in children with functional constipation. Expert Panel Decision November 29, 2025, Moscow

Le résumé fourni par la source

Constipation presents a significant challenge in modern pediatrics, with functional constipation (FC) being the predominant cause, accounting for up to 95% of all cases. Despite pediatricians' engagement in tackling this issue, certain aspects of diagnosis and treatment across age groups remain inadequately addressed. On November 29, 2025, a Council of Experts convened in Moscow, where a resolution was passed focusing on the topic, "A Contemporary Perspective on the Use of Rectal Laxatives in Children with Functional Constipation". To effectively manage FC, a holistic approach is necessary, including addressing the patient's psychoemotional well-being, implementing dietary modifications, and, if these initial strategies prove ineffective, considering medication options. Among the preferred initial therapeutic agents are medicinal microclysters containing sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, sodium citrate, and sorbitol, known for their rapid laxative effect when used alone or in combination with oral laxatives. The features of the FC trajectory determine the treatment duration, and each case is addressed individually.
