Product of cold pressing of peeled seeds of an annual castor bean plant (Ricinus communis L.) of the Euphorbia family. Castor oil contains ricinolic acid triglyceride.

Pharmachologic effect:
In the stomach, castor oil does not change and does not irritate it, but in the intestine, under the action of an alkaline medium and the lipase enzyme, castor oil is split with the release of glycerin, ricinic acid and its salts, which irritate intestinal receptors and increase peristalsis, while reflex contraction of the uterine muscles is also observed … Castor oil acts as a mild laxative, so it is used even in cases of gastrointestinal inflammation. In part, the oil softens the contents of the stomach and promotes its movement through the digestive tract.
