This is my first entry of any sort in Wikipedia. Hope this is done correctly.
May I suggest appending the well-known lactulose/mannitol test for gastrointestinal permeability and the L/M ratio. It is an old, but still clinically performed test. Plenty of references in Medline. I prefer to leave this task to experienced M.D. gastroenterologist.

Can someone (eg. a botanist) write something about mannitol in plants: mannitol dehydrogenase (MDH), it being produced by olives, its relevance in abiotic stress. THANKS massa 14:30, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Earlier in the article it mentions being able to open the blood-brin barrier, but later on it says it is not able to cross biological membranes - is this an inconsistency, or does the blood-brain barrier not count as a membrane? -- CharlesC 08:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Or does it just "open" the blood-brain barrier without actually passing it? Sweetman 07:00, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Mannitol is mentioned in Anthony Kiedis' book Scar Tissue. He states he use to watch his dad mix the laxitive Mannitol to cocaine to make it more profitable. -- MH 11 jan 07 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.137.245.198 ( talk) 13:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC).
Does mannitol count as a sugar, even though it isn't a carbohydrate? Mauvila 20:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Mannitol is both a carbohydrate and a sugar alcohol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.170.66.124 ( talk) 09:54, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
so, i am confused if manna is actually a substance that exists; could someone be more specific, rather than a citation from 1880? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.222.197.74 ( talk) 14:48, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Every drug indexed in wikipedia should contain at minimum (or be edited to have) the following information: Drug class, FDA approved indication/ also other uses, mechanism of action, contraindication, side effects/ adverse reactions, interactions with other drugs, route of administration/ and dosage, pregnancy category, percautions, brand names, how it's supplied and drug company, approximate cost.

Can someone familiar with the Drugbox syntax edit it so that the Drugbox displays all the information properly in Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer 8?. For example, the melting point, boiling point, water solubility, etc. are listed in the editing page but do not show in the article. THANKS 24.60.115.30 ( talk) 11:27, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
The bottom of the mannitol article has a table of antihypertensive (anti-high blood pressure) medications. What does that have to do with mannitol? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mishka.medvezhonok ( talk • contribs) 23:41, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
I am very pleased to see that most sugars are specified to some extent in wikipedia in terms of chairs, boats and other ring structures in addition to open chain forms. This is completely absent in this article. I thought to add something myself, but have had no luck finding such information online. All structures I have encountered are open chain form, giving impression this is the only form, but no text specifying this is in fact so. Nothing is mentioned one way or other. Is there a sugar chemist in here who can contribute even a hint or reference so this can be appended?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, To my knowledge, mannitol is not the only hexitol ! The page "hexitol" should not be redirected to this page concerning "mannitol". Here are exemples of other hexitols : iditol, sorbitol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.99.26.99 ( talk) 09:57, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
The FDA gives odd, relative evidence of mannitol's laxative properties stating it causes diarrhea when consumed in 5 to 10x normal amounts eaten by adults (what's a normal level?) compared to sorbitol's 2 to 3x normal amounts even though the 1941 Mannitol and Sorbitol Study, p. 151. states sorbitol is laxative level on all test subjects is 50g and mannitol is 20g. The baby laxative seems to be a myth or comes from decades older incarnations of baby laxatives or misreading of the label. The current ones I find on the market have magnesium stearate or sodium alginate/magnesium alginate active ingredients with mannitol as an inactive ingredient. I found evidence that mannitol was used as a laxative solution for colonoscopy preparation before newer solutions were used. 24.241.69.99 ( talk) 06:47, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
And are they effective?

This needs a ref
"===Illicit drugs=== Mannitol is sometimes used as an adulterant or cutting agent for heroin, methamphetamines, cocaine, or other illicit drugs. In popular culture, when it is used in this manner, it is often referred to as baby laxative. An interview on the History Channel show Gangland showed a man claiming to be the chief methamphetamine "cooker" for the Pagans MC in Philadelphia, who stated that he used mannitol, a "baby laxative", as a "cut" for methamphetamine. He stated that in his hands the drug began as a purple color, and became first dark pink, then light pink, finally white as successive adulterations were done with mannitol. In the interview he stated that people snorting a line of the powder would need to go to the bathroom as a result of using it. He said that they incorrectly believed that this was the result of the potency of the drug, but it was actually caused by the added mannitol."
