Polycarbophil
Polycarbophil is an orally active hydrophilic polymer. Polycarbophil achieves bioadhesion through hydrogen bonding between carboxyl groups and mucosal surfaces, and prolongs compound retention time and regulates compound release through swelling properties. Polycarbophil relieves constipation and diarrhea[1][2][3].
