Hypercatharsis

(From a preposition signifying excess, and purgation,) hyperinesis, and hyperinos; excessive purging from medicine; a variety of the diarrhea mucosa of Dr. Cullen. It is not only produced by the irritability occasioned by the too violent action of purging.medicines, but from any other cause of irritation in the bowels. The cure is similar to that of violent diarrhoeas. Gentle anodynes, frictions, and diaphoretics, were much depended on by the ancients. See Oribasii Medic. Collect, lib. xiv. cap. 42.
