How to speed up the action of senade. Contraindications for taking Senade. Available contraindications and side effects
Sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition provoke metabolic failure. It shows up nearby unpleasant symptoms, special place among which is constipation. The danger of this disease is that harmful substances contained in feces are not excreted, toxic substances accumulate, spread throughout all systems, poisoning the body. Nausea and loss of appetite are the very first signs of intoxication.
A feeling of heaviness and intestinal congestion is another unpleasant concomitant. How to fight this disease? There are many means: therapeutic exercises, diet, medications. The list of medications offered numbers in the hundreds. In this article we will focus on one very popular remedy - Senade.
The thesis stated in the section title represents the main characteristics of laxatives. Many of them liquefy the stool, causing the bowel movement to become uncontrollable. For the happiness of bowel release, a person pays for hours of sitting on the toilet. As a result, one extreme goes to the other: constipation is replaced by diarrhea, followed by dehydration.
How does Senade work? The active substances of the drug (sennosides A, B) act on the receptors of the mucous membrane of the large intestine. The result of this effect is stimulation of peristalsis.
Intestinal peristalsis is understood as a wave-like contraction of the organ, leading to the movement of feces towards the anus.
It should be noted that the factor affecting intestinal motility is realized in all laxative drugs. Distinctive feature Senade is the absence of interference in the structure of feces, i.e. When you defecate, the stool that comes out is not liquid, but formed.
The absence of diarrhea does not cause dehydration.
Another advantage of the drug is no addictive effect. This means the following:
- taking the medication normalizes the daily act of bowel movement;
- after the intestines enter the desired rhythm, the medication is stopped;
- due to the lack of dependence on Senade, the intestines continue to function without medication, and relapses of constipation do not occur.
In what cases is Senade most effective?
Taking into account the safety of the drug, it is prescribed to children, the elderly, and pregnant women. Indications for its use are:
- insufficient intestinal motility,
- functional constipation,
- preparation for x-ray examination,
- period of post-surgical therapy,
- hemorrhoids (if this pathology is present hemorrhoids become a barrier in the path of feces, preventing normal bowel movements).
The causes of functional constipation are muscle atrophy and loss of elasticity of the walls of the rectum. With this pathology, the walls of the rectum expand, reliably storing waste products in their depths.
Situations in which you should not expect a miracle from a medicine
Taking the drug is accompanied not only by the removal of feces, but also by the expulsion of fluid from the intestines. After bowel movement there is often a feeling of lightness. A measurement on the scale may indicate a loss of 3–4 kg. People (mostly women), inspired by such figures, begin to treat Senada as a means of losing weight. This is wrong.
Medicines used for weight loss are based on 2 main principles, the ability to:
- burn body fat;
- speed up metabolism.
Senade has neither the first nor the second feature, therefore, it can serve as an alternative to drugs for getting rid of excess weight can't.
To console women who have taken medication for weight loss, we point out that in some cases this drug used as aid when losing weight:
- with a long-term and (or) protein diet, poor in fiber (twice a week, one (two) tablets);
- after festive feasts;
- to get rid of the “plateau effect”, when no tricks can reduce weight by a single gram.

Duration of action and participation in the gastrointestinal tract
The effect of the drug is felt 8 to 10 hours after taking it. Knowing this feature, a person decides for himself when it is more convenient for him to take Senade. In most cases, the choice falls in the evening to start the morning with a bowel movement:
Blessed is he who is early in the morning
Has a chair without forcing, -
That's why food suits the gut,
And all pleasures are available.
This quatrain, attributed to A.S. Pushkin, best describes the feeling of relief of a person tormented by constipation. All components of Senade are aimed only at helping the intestines free themselves from feces and fluid.
The medication does not have any other effect on the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract (participation in metabolism, digestion of food, etc.).
Do no harm: read the instructions carefully
Despite the fact that the drug has vegetable origin, you should know how to take Senade for constipation, follow the right dosage. It is preferable to take the medication before bedtime.

Overdose and possible side effects
Diarrhea – direct consequence drug overdose. Nothing bad will happen if you “checked in” to the toilet a couple of times.

- applies drinking plenty of fluids mineral water(to restore electrolytes and fluids);
- drinking heavily is accompanied by intravenous administration special solutions.
Signs of overdose can be caused by taking more than 3 tablets per day in adults and more than 2 tablets in children under 12 years of age.

Reviews of taking Senade for weight loss
I love to eat. Sometimes, especially on vacation, I can’t refuse a supplement, and then a cute elephant looks at me in the mirror. It is for such cases that I need Senade. If I feel that, to put it mildly, I have overeaten, I take 6 tablets at night and go to bed calmly. In the morning I visit the “office”, and my flat stomach returns to me! As I understand it, you can’t take it often, but for emergency cases just right.
-Alena, 22 years old
After reading about the good results of taking Senade for weight loss, I was inspired to try it. I took the drug every day at night and lasted for five days. During the appointment, I was bothered by bloating, and at work I ran out of the office a couple of times to get to the restroom. I lost three kilograms, but after a month they came back.
-Anastasia, 27 years old
I was attracted to Senad by the relatively safe composition and good reviews. I was on a strict diet, and problems began with the toilet. After weighing all the pros and cons, I bought it to try. As a laxative, it's a worthwhile thing. Intestinal function returned to normal, and a feeling of lightness settled in the stomach. I don’t know what exactly helped me lose weight, but by dieting and taking Senade, I lost 8 kilograms.
-Veronica, 38 years old
I do not recommend taking laxatives for the purpose of losing weight. Our body is a single system striving for constancy. By interfering with its work, we can get an unfavorable result. What does the Senade tablet do when it enters the body? It, like a small pump, pumps out the water that tissues and organs should have received, and removes it from the body along with feces. If a person suffers from constipation, the feces are hard and dense, this intervention in the body’s functioning is justified. What if everything is fine with the stool? We end up with a lack of life-giving moisture (which means decreased skin elasticity, brittle nails, dull hair color) and loose stools with a difficult urge to defecate. What will losing five kilograms of water do? Absolutely nothing, the body, striving for a constant internal environment, will make up for what is missing at the earliest opportunity. Not invented yet magic pill, allowing you to gain harmony once and for all. A physical activity and healthy, good nutrition- it’s slow, but correct and without violence against your own body.

Senade is sold in packs of 40, 60 and 500 pieces.

However, the active ingredients in the Senna aquifolia leaf extract are: salts of sennosides A and B . In total, each Senade tablet contains 13.5 mg of sennosides A and B in the form of calcium salts. Usually, the dosage of tablets is indicated precisely by the content of sennosides A and B in it. Therefore, in pharmaceutical reference books they write that the amount of the active substance in Senade tablets is 13.5 mg.
Senade tablets contain the following substances as auxiliary components:
- starch;
- methyl parahydroxybenzoate;
- microcrystalline cellulose;
- talc;
- magnesium stearate;
- sodium lauryl sulfate;
- carmellose sodium.
Action and therapeutic effect
Senade tablets have a laxative effect due to the active components - sennosides A and B. From a chemical point of view, sennosides A and B are a class of anthraglycoside substances, that is, they contain monosaccharide residues such as glucose, galactose, etc. Sennosides A and B have a laxative effect due to their direct effect on sensitive receptors located in the mucous membrane of the large intestine. By binding to receptors, sennosides A and B have a stimulating effect on the smooth muscle elements of the large intestine, which, in turn, respond to this by increasing the strength, amplitude and duration of peristaltic movements. Thus, Senade tablets enhance the peristalsis of the large intestine, due to the active contractions of which its soft emptying occurs.
When using Senade, there is no change in stool. That is, bowel movements occur with normal, formed stools, without a tendency to diarrhea. Senade tablets selectively affect colon, whose role in the act of defecation is enormous.
In addition, the drug has the property of normalizing intestinal function, creating optimal peristaltic contractions. The tablets are not addictive and do not in any way affect the process of digesting food. This means that Senade can be consumed to improve intestinal motility long time, and then, after the content evacuation function normalizes, stop. Stopping the medication will not lead to severe constipation. Also Senade does not violate natural process digestion, since it only enhances colon peristalsis.
Each tablet of Senade contains 13.5 mg of calcium salts of sennosides A and B, which are isolated from senna leaves. This amount of active substances corresponds to 0.6 g of dry senna leaf powder.
Accurate data on the processes of absorption and excretion of each substance contained in senna leaf extract have not been provided to date. Only data are available for sennosides A and B. This is due to the fact that, according to the provisions of the International Convention (EMEAHMPWG11/99), it is not necessary to conduct an isolated study of pharmacokinetic parameters for herbal medicines.
How long does it take for Senade to work?
Typically, Senade tablets cause bowel movements 8 to 10 hours after administration. This is exactly the amount of time the drug requires to activate the receptors and reflexively enhance peristalsis, due to which the intestinal contents will move to the ampulla of the rectum and cause the urge to defecate. After taking Senade, a person's stool is normal.You can slightly speed up the onset of action of the medicine by drinking 2 - 3 glasses of warm, slightly salted water. In this case, bowel movement will occur within 6 to 8 hours after taking the pills.
Indications for use
Since Senade tablets have a laxative effect due to increased peristalsis of the large intestine, their scope of use is associated specifically with the insufficiency of contractile activity of smooth muscle elements digestive tract. That is why the following conditions are indicated for the use of Senade as a laxative:- Constipation caused by hypotension, or sluggish and insufficient peristaltic activity of the colon.
- Functional constipation, associated with ignoring the urge to defecate with the subsequent inability to go to the toilet.
- Regulation of stool for hemorrhoids, proctitis or anal fissures.
The second indication for the use of Senade is the regulation of stool in diseases of the rectum. In these situations, regular bowel movements are necessary. It is unacceptable to delay or skip bowel movements, as this can only worsen the course of the disease. In addition, with such an adjustable stool, it is easier to do small counter oil enemas before defecation, which facilitate the passage of feces through the anal sphincter and eliminate the associated pain syndrome.
Senade - instructions for use (how to take pills for constipation)
Senade tablets are taken orally. As a rule, you need to take the drug once a day, preferably in the evening, before going to bed or half an hour before meals. The tablet should be taken with a sufficient amount (at least half a glass) of water or any other non-alcoholic drink. If the drug is taken independently, without a doctor’s prescription, it is recommended to limit short course– take tablets no longer than 3–5 days in a row. Usually, within 3 to 5 days, stool completely normalizes, which no longer requires the use of a laxative. As prescribed by a doctor and with regular medical examinations long-term use of Senade tablets is possible.
Adults and children over 12 years old
The dosage depends on the person’s age and baseline intestinal motility activity. So, children over 12 years of age and adults take one tablet once a day. One tablet of Senade is the minimum initial dosage with which you should start using the drug. Senade should be taken one tablet for three days. If bowel movement does not occur after this, you should increase the dosage by half a tablet, and take one and a half tablets for another three days. By following this algorithm, you can increase the dosage to 3 tablets per day. You should not take more than 3 tablets per day, as this may lead to an overdose. If a person has taken the maximum dosage of three tablets for three days, but bowel movements have not occurred, then you should consult a doctor.Children 6-12 years old
Children aged 6 to 12 years take half a tablet once a day. For children of this age, the initial dosage is exactly half a tablet, so you should start giving the drug to the child in this amount. If Senade is ineffective within two days, you can increase the dosage by another half tablet. The maximum dosage for children 6 – 12 years old is two tablets.Interaction with other drugs
Use for a long period of time in combination with cardiac glycosides (for example, Strophanthin, etc.) and antiarrhythmic drugs enhances the effects of the latter. Concomitant use antiarrhythmic drugs and Senade can provoke the removal of potassium from the body with the development of its deficiency.In such a situation, intense bowel movements and severe pain in the stomach of a pregnant woman can provoke strong muscle contractions of the abdominal wall, reminiscent of those during pushing. It is quite understandable that tension in the abdominal wall and abdominal pain can result in premature birth or the threat of miscarriage. The threat of miscarriage during short periods of pregnancy while taking Senade is also explained by the fact that the tablets increase the tone of the smooth muscles of the uterus.
That is why manufacturers do not recommend that pregnant women take Senade without examination and advice from a doctor. Pregnant women can take the drug if constipation does not last long - a maximum of 2 days. However, in this case it is better to drink Senade along with the tablet. more water so that it softens the stool a little, facilitating its passage through the anal sphincter. If a pregnant woman has constipation that lasts longer than three days, then the use of Senade should be abandoned, since the drug will cause strong contractions of the intestinal muscles, severe spastic pain and a significant increase in the tone of the uterus. Senade can be used prophylactically during pregnancy, for example, in the evening before bed, after a long and difficult day, so that bowel movement is guaranteed the next morning. The dosage of Senade for pregnant women is 1 - 2 tablets per day, which are best taken at night, before bed.
Senade for children - method of application
Senade tablets can be used to relieve constipation in children starting from 6 years of age. It is necessary to give the child a tablet along with a glass of water and ask him to drink the medicine well. If necessary, Senade can be taken by children starting from 3 years of age.The dosage for a child is half a tablet per day, which is best taken in the evening, before going to bed. If the child does not go to the toilet within 24 hours after taking half the tablet, you can give him another half and wait another day. Then you should give the child the whole tablet and wait for a bowel movement for 24 hours. If after this the child does not poop, you should consult a doctor.
For children, the recommended dosage is 0.5 - 1 tablet, and the maximum is 2 tablets per day. It is necessary to start giving the drug to the baby with the recommended dosage, and if it is ineffective, you can resort to the maximum permissible quantity. Depending on the duration of constipation and the age of the child, you should give half or a whole tablet of Senade for the first time. For example, with prolonged constipation, it is better to give the child the whole tablet at once, and if this state takes place over a relatively short period of time, then half is enough. If necessary, you can immediately give it to your child. maximum dose– 2 tablets Senade. If after taking maximum dosage If you do not have a bowel movement within 24 hours, you should consult a doctor.
Senade for weight loss - how to take
Today among pharmaceuticals there are various specialized means designed specifically for weight loss. However, people often try to lose weight using various laxatives. Of course, by clearing the intestines of feces and removing them from the human body large number fluids and electrolytes, Senade will reduce weight by several kilograms. Only these lost kilograms consist of liquid, which is vital for the body and various microelements, also urgently necessary for the normal functioning of biological processes. Of course, part of the lost kilograms will come from feces, which justifiably left the body. However, if a person really wants to cleanse the intestines and lose weight by removing accumulated feces, then Senade should be taken for 1 to 2 days in a row, and then put it aside.
