Published 04/22/2020 · Comments: · Reading time: 8 min · Views: Post Views: 480

Situational constipation is a common problem. The most common causes are poor diet, lack of water intake and physical inactivity. In cases where stool retention is not a habitual or chronic condition, responsible self-medication without consulting a doctor is acceptable. You can resort to using a short course of fast-acting stimulant laxatives. The herbal remedy “Senade” in tablet form is a simple and affordable option.

Description of the drug: composition and release form

The digestion process affects a person’s well-being. Any violations in it negatively affect the quality of life. For frequent constipation in children and adults, doctors often prescribe Senade. The herbal remedy has a mild laxative effect. It is also used to regulate stool in pathologies such as hemorrhoids, obesity, and anal fissures.

The medicine Senade is available only in tablet form. They have a classic cylindrical shape and slightly beveled edges. Due to the plant pigment included in the composition, the tablets have a brownish tint with dark inclusions. The fault line is marked on one side and the word "CIPLA" on the other. The manufacturer packages the tablets in blisters of 20 units. One cardboard pack contains 2,3 or 25 such blisters, detailed instructions for use.

The medication contains excipients:

• lactose;
• starch;
• talc;

• magnesium stearate;
• sodium lauryl sulfate;
• carmellose sodium;
• methyl parahydroxybenzoate.

The active components of the drug are calcium salts of sennosides A and B. They are substances of plant origin that are obtained from the leaves of senna acufolia. In total, one tablet contains 13.5 mg of sennosides A and B. Usually it is by this parameter that the dosage on the package is determined.

Mode of application

Senade tablets are prescribed for oral administration, one capsule before bedtime. The drug should be taken with plenty of water. The tablets should be taken only with the permission of a doctor, but if you started taking them on your own, then the duration of treatment with them should be no more than a week.

If the doctor has carried out examinations, then the drug can be taken longer, only with the prescription of a specialist.

The initial period of use of the tablets is three days. If no changes have occurred during this time, the dosage of the drug should be increased by half a tablet, etc.

You should not take more than three tablets per day.

For constipation

The drug Senade belongs to the group of laxatives. The tablets contain calcium salts of sennosides A and B.

When the drug enters the body, it activates the receptors in the intestinal mucosa, which subsequently leads to an irritating effect on smooth muscles and increases the frequency of contractions.

This drug is prescribed for chronic and regular constipation, before surgery and as a preventive measure.

Senade is taken orally with water or any drink 1 time per day in the evening before bed.

Recommended single dose (from average to maximum):

• adults and children over 12 years old: from 1 to 2-3 tablets;
• children 6–12 years old: from ½ to 1-2 tablets.

When selecting a dosage regimen, the same dose should be taken over several days; if it is insufficiently effective, it is gradually increased by ½ tablet.

Pharmacological properties

The mechanism of action of the drug is reduced to stimulating intestinal motility. After entering the stomach, its active substances freely penetrate into the intestines. There, bacteria break them down into biologically active components. It is they who have an irritating effect on the mucous membrane of the organ, as a result of which they stimulate motility and accelerate the process of release of feces.

Biologically active components prevent the body from absorbing water. Free fluid is retained in the intestines. Therefore, the density of feces decreases significantly. This also contributes to their accelerated release. This way the intestines are cleansed.

The components of the drug are metabolized in the liver and leave the body through the excretory system.

After taking the tablet, the laxative effect appears within 10-12 hours.

However, the time depends on the dose taken. The larger it is, the faster the process of defecation occurs. To speed it up, the instructions recommend drinking 2-3 glasses of warm, lightly salted water.

Reviews from doctors and specialists

Irina, 27 years old, Grozny

I took Senade throughout my very strict diet to prevent constipation. I took 1 tablet at night, which allowed me to have a natural bowel movement in the morning. After stopping taking it and switching to a normal diet, no problems arose either. In a month I managed to lose 11 kg of excess weight, but I think that this is “the merit” not of pills, but of a strict diet. The drug helped only in the sense that there was no heaviness and stagnation in the stomach. And this is very important during the period of weight loss.

Larisa, 44 years old, Taganrog

I lost weight at the Senada before my birthday so I could fit into my favorite dress. I practically spent the entire 3 days I drank it in the toilet. I had severe diarrhea, my stomach was constantly churning, and I didn’t want to eat anything. But all my torment was worth it - during this time I lost 4 kg, my stomach completely disappeared, my waist decreased. Of course, after the holiday and the gala feast, everything returned, but now I will normalize my weight with proper nutrition and exercise. A laxative is only suitable for emergency, and, mind you, short-term weight loss.

Valentin, 29 years old, St. Petersburg

My wife is addicted to these pills and takes them constantly. She is sure that if you stop drinking them, your belly will immediately grow. It is quite logical, because “Senade” does not allow anything to linger in the intestines, so it always turns out empty. But there are no side effects, everything is quite natural. I myself use this drug after a heavy meal. Helps you feel light and get rid of everything unnecessary.

Valery Filonenko, gastroenterologist, Volzhsky

Almost all of my patients who took Senade for cleansing while losing weight speak of it as an easy-to-use drug that gives an excellent effect. Most of them managed to normalize stool, and the effect was soft and comfortable, without diarrhea or any other unpleasant sensations. Almost everyone took the pills before bed, and in the morning they had a natural bowel movement. Only a few noted the appearance of antispasmodic pain and diarrhea, but considered such symptoms to be a completely acceptable disadvantage of the drug, since the overall effect was positive. As a doctor, I want to say that these tablets are a natural laxative that has a natural effect on the body. “Senade” enhances intestinal motility and causes it to “push” all its contents out. But it should not be abused, since it must be taken into account that such “activation” affects not only the gastrointestinal tract, but also all other organs that have a mucous membrane. Therefore, as soon as the desired effect is achieved, the drug must be stopped.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with Drugs that protect the liver

Daria Lebedeva, nutritionist, Kurgan

It is generally accepted that with the help of a laxative you can lose weight without restricting your diet, since the food you eat quickly passes through the gastrointestinal tract without having time to be absorbed, which causes the body to starve and use up fat deposits. But this approach oversimplifies the essence of physiological processes. In fact, Senade provides weight loss only by emptying the intestines of all contents. If you stop using it, this same content will accumulate there again. If you continue to take the pills constantly, there will be no such accumulation, but severe dehydration will begin, due to which the weight will decrease a little. But the fat will still remain, and along with this a number of negative consequences may develop - cramping pain, severe diarrhea, large loss of fluid. When taking such a laxative medicine continues for more than 14 days, there are even cases of arrhythmias, a sharp decrease in blood pressure, and metabolic disorders. Therefore, proper nutrition and regular exercise are recommended for weight loss. And “Senade” can be used only during the first 1-2 days of the diet to remove contents from the intestines.

On the Internet in various forums there are a large number of stories about the use of Senade for constipation. However, many women, in spite of everything, use Senade for the purpose of losing weight. According to women, the drug helps to quickly get rid of several kilograms, while feeling light in the body.

Indications for use

The laxative effect of Senade tablets occurs due to increased intestinal motility. Therefore, the scope of their use is associated with insufficient contractile activity of the elements of the gastrointestinal tract. The main indications for prescribing the drug are the following:

• constipation caused by sluggishness or insufficient intestinal motility;
• obesity;
• functional constipation;
• regulation of stool against the background of hemorrhoids, anal fissures, proctitis.

The listed disorders are usually associated with the inactive lifestyle of a modern person. Sedentary work, traveling exclusively by car - all this provokes excess weight gain and the development of habitual constipation. Gastrointestinal diseases and long-term adherence to a strict diet can contribute to the occurrence of such problems. Disruption of the bowel movement is often encountered by young children, pregnant women, and patients after surgery.

Pathologies of the rectum are usually accompanied by constipation. This violation requires quick elimination, since fecal retention can be a source of infection. At the same time, the daily need to push only worsens the condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Senade acts gently and quickly, which in this case is very effective.

Prescription during pregnancy and lactation

Senade enhances the peristalsis of the large intestine, provoking its active contractions and accelerating the movement of feces to the anus. Unfortunately, the pills have no effect on the condition of stool, so bowel movements can be quite unpleasant. This is due to the fact that the prolonged presence of feces in the intestinal lumen leads to the absorption of water from them, making the feces hard and dry. Such hard and dry feces under the influence of Senade simply begin to move faster towards the anus. But the passage of dense and dry feces out through the anal sphincter is very difficult and even painful. To remove feces, the intestines contract intensely, which can cause cramping pain in the abdomen, which is extremely unpleasant and dangerous during pregnancy.

In such a situation, intense bowel movements and severe abdominal pain in a pregnant woman can provoke strong muscle contractions of the abdominal wall, reminiscent of pushing. It is quite clear 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 more water along with the Senade tablet so that it softens the stool a little, making it easier for them to pass 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.

Dosage regimen

To cleanse the intestines and restore normal stools, Senade should be taken for three days. However, in most cases, a single dose is sufficient.

Due to the pronounced laxative effect, this should be done before bedtime.

The drug should take effect in the morning. The instructions for use contain the following dosages of the medicine:

1. Adults need to take one tablet in the evening after meals. To speed up the laxative effect, you can increase the dosage. You are allowed to take no more than three pills per day.
2. Children aged 6 to 12 years are prescribed half a tablet once.

If after three days the laxative effect does not occur, you should consult a doctor. The specialist will adjust the reception mode or select an analogue device. The dosage should be increased gradually. Additionally, in this case, it is recommended to increase the amount of fluid consumed to avoid dehydration.

Use during pregnancy

How to take Senad tablets worries many pregnant women. However, the need for their use is determined by the doctor, since this is associated with a certain risk. By stimulating intestinal motility, active substances can simultaneously provoke reflex contractions of the uterus. Hypertonicity in the early stages often leads to miscarriage or complicated pregnancy. In addition, abdominal pain cannot be ruled out.

During lactation, doctors do not prescribe Senade to women. Sennosides enter the newborn's body through milk. As a result, he may also experience bowel problems. For chronic constipation, the doctor should prescribe the woman another remedy that is compatible with breastfeeding. At the same time, the diet of a nursing mother is being reviewed.

Using a drug for weight loss

Many people use herbal laxatives for weight loss. However, in this case the dosage regimen will be different. If you are following a strict diet with limited food intake, you must take 2 tablets twice a week. For emergency weight loss, it is recommended to take 2 tablets of Senade two days in a row. In the latter case, the positive effect is achieved quickly, but lasts for a short time.

Losing weight with this drug is based on cleansing the gastrointestinal tract of feces and removing a large volume of fluid.

Usually it is possible to “lose” up to 2 kg. However, further removal of water from the body can negatively affect health. To increase the effectiveness of this technique, Senade tablets must be combined with a proper and balanced diet.

How to avoid overdose

The correct dosage is an essential condition for using the drug. Ignoring the rules of administration can cause diarrhea, which will lead to dehydration. It is very important to monitor the amount of water consumed during treatment with Senade, since the body should not feel its deficiency.

If dehydration cannot be avoided, then it is urgent to restore the water balance. Experts advise drinking more mineral water, compote from dried apples, dried apricots, and raisins. Electrolyte mixtures dissolved in water help well: Regidron, Electral, Normohydron. In difficult cases, Ringer's mixture is administered intravenously. It is a combination of sodium, potassium, calcium chloride and sterile water.

Other side effects occur only in cases of uncontrolled use of the drug. The active substances of the drug affect all mucous membranes of the internal organs, and not just the intestines.

The main symptom and consequence of a drug overdose is permanent diarrhea and dehydration. To eliminate these consequences, you should drink mineral water in a volume of at least 3 liters daily. This is the main condition for replenishing fluid losses and restoring electrolyte balance.

Contraindications for use

Doctors do not prescribe Senade to all patients. There are two conditional groups of contraindications: absolute and relative. The first category means that the use of the medicine may lead to the development of complications or is completely prohibited due to associated health problems. Such contraindications are:

1. Spasmodic conditions of the intestines (colitis and constipation). They are caused by an increase in the tone of the walls of the organ.

5. Peptic ulcer of the stomach, duodenum.
6. Cystitis and other pathologies of the urinary system.

Side effects

There is an opinion that herbal preparations are absolutely safe for health. Despite the positive characteristics of the drug Senade, its use may be accompanied by side effects. Their main reason is the presence of sennosides, resinous elements, in the composition. They can provoke discomfort in the lower abdomen and flatulence. In some cases, vomiting and nausea occur.

Senna has another feature - retaining fluid in the intestines. This property can lead to dehydration and deficiency of beneficial microelements. The consequences of such side effects can be quite serious:

• severe hypotension;

• general weakness;
• slower reactions;
• water-electrolyte imbalance;
• irritation of the mucous membrane;
• skin rashes.

Some ladies, in pursuit of a perfect figure, go to all sorts of tricks. Many laxatives can actually remove 3-4 kg. But how does it work? This is a lie.

Senade is not suitable for weight loss. They simply do not have such properties. That's not what they were designed for.

The fact is that along with feces, fluid also comes out of the intestines. This results in a decrease in the scales. But this is only a one-time result.

The reduction in body weight will not continue. And, if you take medicine often unnecessarily, then problems will really begin. You need to think about this before putting your health at risk.

Senade tablets for constipation are not based on the principles of weight loss:

1. They do not burn fat.
2. They do not speed up metabolism.

Thus, dear girls must understand a very important thing: losing weight with the help of the drug Senade is impossible.

The diet pill has a rounded flat shape and smooth, beveled edges. On one side there is the name “CIPLA”, on the other the tablet has a straight line for breaking. Senade is sold in packages of 30, 60 and 500 tablets.

The laxative drug Senade contains a natural herbal component – ​​cassia tora extract (senna leaves). This substance is the main active ingredient of Senade. The plant grows in a subtropical climate, and its constituents, sennosides A and B, have a pronounced laxative effect.

How to lose weight with Senade? The principle of action of the drug for weight loss is similar to activated carbon. Senade is effective for improving intestinal flora, removing waste and toxins, stimulating metabolism, eliminating constipation (defecation), the drug helps cleanse the intestinal mucosa and remove excess moisture from the body. The result of taking the drug is a decrease in the absorption of carbohydrates and fats, which are the main culprits of the problem of excess weight.

Although Senade has a laxative effect, you should not expect amazing results from the drug in the form of a large number of lost kilograms. The laxative helps you lose 4-7 kg in two weeks of taking Senade. However, when the effect of the drug on the body ends, there is a high probability that the lost weight will return to its original places - buttocks, hips, waist and abdomen.

The fast-acting laxative Senade will have little therapeutic effect, since the drug only helps to remove excess substances from the body, but does not eliminate fats already accumulated in the body. The drug does not have the ability to burn fat, so losing weight with Senade is possible only by removing waste products and excess fluid from the body.

Doctors believe that such cleansing is useful, but you should not get carried away with the drug - 2-4 cleansing courses per year are enough. Otherwise, losing weight will disrupt the intestinal microflora, mineral and acid-base balance of the gastrointestinal tract. Long-term use of Senade and similar drugs is dangerous to health, because it causes addiction, reaching the stage when the intestines can no longer perform their function without the help of special drugs.

A frequently asked question when choosing a laxative is: “after how many hours does the tablet take effect?” The laxative Senade starts cleansing the intestines 8-10 hours after taking it, so it is important at this time to be in a room where there is a restroom. This period is necessary for the tablets to activate receptors and enhance intestinal motility, due to which feces move faster to the ampulla of the rectum.

It is possible to speed up the action of Senade a little by drinking a couple of glasses of warm, salted water. The mechanism of action is faster and bowel movement will occur 6-7 hours after taking the laxative.

Each drug brings benefit and harm to the body to varying degrees. Therefore, it is important to familiarize yourself with the pros and cons before choosing which pills to take to lose weight. Senade as a weight loss drug has positive and negative qualities that you should be aware of before you start taking it.

• The drug can be taken only for constipation, so to start a weight loss course you need to wait until feces are retained in the intestines.
• You should not drink Senade for weight loss often, otherwise it will lead to a lack of urge to defecate (without pills the body will not perform its usual functions).
• Excessive use of a potent drug leads to ulcers, gastritis or irritation of the intestinal walls.
• Senade will not help those who want to lose weight by 10 kilograms or more with the help of pills. The drug will help you become 2-3 kg slimmer in a week.
• Losing weight with the help of Senade has a number of contraindications that strictly prohibit taking laxative pills, so before starting the course, consultation with a doctor is required.

Before taking Senade, you should visit a doctor who will tell you whether you can use the drug for weight loss. In addition, the instructions for use of Senade should be carefully studied. How to drink Senade to lose weight?

How to take Senade for weight loss and cleansing the body

The dosage of a weight loss drug prescribed by a doctor depends on the age and health status of the person (the presence of chronic diseases, the activity of intestinal motility). To lose weight using pills without harming the body, you should familiarize yourself with the rules for taking Senade.

1. Method of administration . Diet pills are taken orally with plenty of water. To speed up the effect, take warm, salted water.
2. Dosage for adults (from 12 years old) . The standard dosage is 1 tablet per day, taken at night (before bedtime). If your condition is normal within 3 days, increase the dose by half a tablet and gradually increase it to 3 tablets per day - this is the maximum permissible amount of a laxative. Exceeding the allowed dose leads to an overdose.
3. How many tablets should children take ? Children from 6 to 12 years old should drink a laxative ½ tablet per day. If this amount of Senade is not effective, the dose is gradually increased to 2 tablets per day (this is the maximum).
4. Duration of the course . If a weight loss drug is taken without a doctor’s prescription, it is recommended not to delay the course of treatment and drink a laxative for no longer than 5 days. If the drug was prescribed by a doctor, Senade may be taken for a longer period of time.
5. How often can you drink ? The regimen for taking Senade involves taking a course of bowel cleansing no more than four times a year.
6. Can it be used by older people ? The recommended dosage for older people is 1 to 3 tablets per day. The weight loss drug should be taken before bedtime for 5-7 days. Before starting the course, it is advisable to consult a doctor and be observed by a specialist during treatment.
7. Taking Senade during pregnancy . Pregnant women can take the pills only as prescribed by a doctor. Unauthorized use of the drug can stimulate cramping abdominal pain and cramps, which can lead to miscarriage.

The main symptom of an overdose of Sinade is severe diarrhea, which leads to severe dehydration. To eliminate the condition, drink large volumes of still water (at least 3 liters per day). This will help replenish the body's water balance and electrolytes. If a person experiences too much dehydration, he should urgently go to the hospital, where the deficiency will be replenished intravenously with special solutions.

A weight loss drug can stimulate the occurrence of side effects from different systems, since the active components of Senade act on receptors located in the mucous membranes of all organs. Side effects occur after a long course of taking diet pills and are mild. They go away without outside intervention when the laxative is stopped. Possible side effects of Senade: flatulence, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, fainting due to decreased blood pressure, skin rash, abdominal cramps, dehydration, blood or protein in the urine, fatigue, weakness, cramps, hemorrhoids.

In pursuit of a slim figure, keep in mind that every weight loss drug, even those based on herbal ingredients, has contraindications. For Senade they are: spastic constipation, cystitis, peritonitis, individual intolerance to components, abdominal pain, strangulated hernia, chronic liver and kidney diseases, internal bleeding, during breastfeeding

Long-term use of Senade simultaneously with cardiac glycosides or antiarrhythmic drugs enhances the effect of the latter and may lead to potassium deficiency in the body. Combining a laxative with diuretics, licorice root, or glucocorticosteroids also increases the risk of potassium deficiency. Senade reduces the effectiveness of long-acting medications.

Modern pharmaceuticals offer analogues and synonyms of the drug Senade to combat extra pounds. Analogs include products that loosen stools by activating peristalsis, but the active ingredients are chemicals different from Senade. Synonyms are weight loss drugs that are produced on the basis of the same main ingredients as Senade.
