Manufactured By: PharmEvo

Used For:

Sennosides, also known as senna, are natural stimulant laxatives commonly used to treat:

• Occasional constipation
• Bowel preparation before medical examinations (e.g., colonoscopy)

Sennosides work by stimulating the muscles in the intestines to contract, which helps move stool through the bowels more quickly.

Side Effects:

Common side effects include:

• Stomach cramps or discomfort
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Gas or bloating
• Urine discoloration (may turn urine pink, red, or brown; harmless and temporary)

Less common but more serious side effects can include:

• Severe abdominal pain or cramping
• Electrolyte imbalance (especially with prolonged use)
• Dehydration (from excessive fluid loss due to diarrhea)

Precautions:

• Short-term Use: Sennosides are intended for short-term use only. Prolonged use can lead to dependence and a reduced ability to have natural bowel movements.
• Electrolyte Imbalance: Excessive or prolonged use can cause electrolyte imbalances, so caution is advised, especially in older adults or people with kidney issues.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use only under medical advice, as senna is generally considered safe but should be used sparingly during pregnancy.
• Bowel Obstruction: Avoid use if you have any blockages or undiagnosed abdominal pain, as sennosides can worsen these conditions.
