Pharmacological action
Senadexin is a laxative of plant origin (senna leaf or Alexandrian leaf, or cassia leaves).
The pharmacological effect is due to antraglycosides (mainly sennosides A and B), as well as other glycosides. When used internally, senna glycosides pass through the stomach and small intestine unchanged, without being absorbed. In the large intestine, anthraglycosides are broken down by intestinal bacteria into pharmacologically active antrons and anthranols, which irritate the interoreceptors of the colon, increase motility and accelerate bowel movement. Antrons and anthranols interfere with the absorption of water and electrolytes, promote the diffusion of water into the intestinal lumen. Due to the osmotic effect, loosening of feces and an increase in their volume occur, which contributes to the laxative effect of anthraglycosides.
Laxative effect appears in 6 to 10 hours. With prolonged use of the drug, the intensity of its action may decrease due to a decrease in the potassium content in the body.
The drug is well tolerated by patients, due to the low content of resinous substances it does not irritate the intestines.
