Senade tablets for weight loss: instructions for use

This article will introduce you to the rules for taking Senade, one of the most common laxatives.

Constipation is a decrease in the frequency of stool clearance due to various reasons (illness, dietary errors, stress, physical inactivity, side effects of medications). Constipation is said to occur when bowel movements occur less than three times a week.

Senade is a medicine with natural ingredients taken to correct the disturbed rhythm of emptying the digestive tract.

Composition, description and release form

The medicine is based on an extract of the leaves of the Senna aquifolia plant. Other better known synonyms: Cassia of Alexandria, American Senna, Alexandria leaf. According to botany, it is a small shrub plant from the Legume family. The laxative properties of the plant when taken were noticed in ancient times.

Until now, the leaves and fruits are used as part of medicines and food supplements with a drastic effect.

Senade tablets use sennosides forms A and B, obtained by extracting calcium salts from the leaves of the plant. This is the main active ingredient in a concentration of 93.33 mg.

Tablets of the drug are enriched with excipients: lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, sodium lauryl sulfate and carmellose, magnesium stearate, talc and methyl parahydroxybenzonate.

This is a round tablet of a brown color with dark inclusions. On one side there is a line for dividing, and on the other, marking in Latin letters Cipla (the name of the Indian pharmaceutical src=»https://alkopolitika.ru/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/dhbnhjra.jpg» class=»aligncenter» width=»889″ height=»428″[/img]The drug Senade is packaged in blisters of 20 pieces each, in cardboard packs with an inscription on the front side, describing the composition, quantity, dosage. Inside there are detailed instructions for use on Russian language.

Dosage form, composition and packaging

The product is produced in tablet form.

Round, brown tablets with inclusions and beveled edges contain the active substance sennosides A and B from Senna aquifolia leaf extract, 13.5 mg each and additional components:

• carbohydrate starch;
• lactose;
• cellulose;
• talc;
• magnesium stearate;
• sodium lauryl sulfate;
• cellulose gum;
• methyl parahydroxybenzoate.

Senade is contained in a cardboard package of 20 tablets in one foil strip. One package may contain 40 or 60 or 500 tablets.

Country of origin: India.

Pharmacological properties

The cleansing effect of Senade is due to its effect on the mechanoreceptors of the colon, which are located in the mucous layer. As a result of their mechanical excitation, the impulse is transmitted to the smooth muscle elements of the wall of the large intestine, which leads to increased peristaltic activity.

The strength, amplitude and duration of movements of the intestinal wall increases. Due to contractions of the muscle structure, the intestines are emptied. Senade does not affect the consistency of stool; bowel cleansing occurs with unchanged, formed stool.

Senade does not affect the process of digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. You can stop taking the drug at any time without the risk of addiction and without recurrence of constipation.

It should be noted that Senade does not have a diuretic effect, as many people think, using it for weight loss.

After taking the Senade tablet, the effect occurs within 8 hours. It is during this time that Senade is transported through the digestive tract; in the large intestine, Senade activates sensitive mechanoreceptors, which ultimately promotes the movement of feces through the intestines until the urge to defecate.

Pharmacokinetics

Senade is practically not absorbed through the mucous membrane of the digestive tract; its bioavailability is 5%.

When Senade enters the lumen of the colon, under the influence of enzymes of beneficial intestinal microflora, its active components (sennosides) are hydrolyzed into free anthraquinones. The main part is excreted with feces and a small amount through the kidneys.

Action and therapeutic effect

The pharmacology of the tablet is based on the active effects of sennoizides. They stimulate receptors well in the mucous membrane of the large intestine. The substance, which is anthroglycosides, excites smooth muscle structures, causing peristalsis. Due to contractions, defecation is accelerated without diarrhea.

The drug partially affects the colon, there are no changes in stool. Due to this, the natural process of emptying is stimulated.

Senade tablets “teach” the intestines to work correctly to remove feces from the body. It is not addictive and does not disrupt the process of food absorption. It begins to act after less than half a day.

Tablets with senna extract help:

• Normalization of the process of defecation,
• Improves stool quality,
• Strengthens the peristaltic movements of the intestinal tract.

  

It is allowed to take for a long time, but carefully monitoring the stool. As soon as everything returns to normal, the drug Senade is discontinued.

It belongs to the class of “laxative tablets” of plant origin and is prescribed only to restore peristaltic movements.

How long does it take for Senade to work?

The process of absorption of substances begins 2 hours after eating. For a full cycle of action, another 6-8 hours are needed. How long does it take for Senade to work? What does this depend on? There are several important points.

1. Individual characteristics of metabolism that directly affect absorption, taking into account that the dosage is fully observed.
2. The presence of pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, which includes diseases of the liver, stomach, gallbladder and pancreas.
3. Patient's age. The older a person is, the worse food absorption occurs, and defecation is disrupted.
4. Lifestyle, intake of fatty foods, alcohol, physical inactivity and sedentary work.
5. Body weight, when excessive obesity interferes with normal bowel function.

   

According to average data, the effectiveness of the Senade tablet is achieved after the first dose.

Indications for use

In a healthy person, defecation occurs 1-2 times a day. If there is any deviation from the regime, action should be taken.

Doctors recommend taking Senade tablets to people who have:

• Chronic or recurrent constipation,
• Violation of peristalsis,
• Hypotension of the large intestine,
• Proctitis,
• Various forms of obesity caused by eating disorders, hormonal problems, aging processes as an aid to weight loss,
• In the presence of hemorrhoids, anal fissures, which make defecation difficult.

  

Regardless of age, the drug is useful for any abnormalities in the intestinal tract. This occurs due to the normalization of stool, when it is necessary to quickly eliminate the problem.

"Senade", instructions for use

According to the manufacturers' instructions, the tablets are designed for both single and multiple doses. The dosage is indicated in the instructions.

Senade tablets are taken orally with plenty of water, at least 100 ml. It is better to do this at night or in the evening. Strictly cannot be combined with alcoholic drinks.

Dosage for 3-5 days, 1 tablet at night, is effective if there are no other pathologies. In case of serious problems with peristalsis and for medical reasons, the drug is continued to be taken.

It is advisable to take the course for 10-12 days, then take a short break, then continue taking the medication again. Until complete normalization. Decide after how many hours the senna extract works, what exactly contributes? Everything is strictly individual.

If taken for too long, the drug turns the urine bright brown or red.

Adults and children over 12 years old

Begin the course of treatment with 3 times the use of the tablet. If the process of defecation does not occur or is disrupted, then treatment is continued. In severe cases, the doses are increased, but up to 3 tablets per day. If there is no stool, seek medical help immediately.

In the drug Senade, the instructions indicate: it is strictly forbidden to take more than three tablets. This can cause uncontrollable diarrhea, even to the point of dehydration. Against this background, there is a high probability of developing reactive psychosis, a general impairment of consciousness and functioning of all organs.

Children 6-12 years old

At this age, ½ dose of one Senade tablet is sufficient for a single dose. If there is no result, then add another half. The maximum dosage is 2 tablets. Detailed instructions or a medical specialist will tell you how to take senade tablets. It can be given to younger children, but not earlier than 3 years.

Like adults, children drink more than half a standard glass of water, sweet tea or juice after eating any food in the evening.

You should monitor the process of defecation and reception characteristics. Uncontrolled actions will lead to dire consequences, including death. It is strictly forbidden to give in early and infancy. Pediatricians believe that it is due to intestinal immaturity. The activity of the components of Senade is too active, which increases the peristalsis of the colon and large intestine.

If you experience any abdominal pain, crying, screaming or hysteria due to discomfort, stop taking the pills. Medical attention will be required.

What to do if you overdose on Senade

First aid for poisoning in children is to drink water, i.e.
it is necessary to replenish the loss of fluid, but gradually, so as not to cause vomiting. You should call an ambulance as soon as possible; the baby may need intravenous infusion of saline solutions. Dehydration occurs earlier in children and has much worse consequences than in adult patients.

If the child is apathetic, lethargic, and his tongue is dry, then measures must be taken urgently. Prolonged diarrhea in a baby is a serious signal.

What to do if Senade is poisoned? The main stage in treatment is visiting a doctor, since it is sometimes difficult to restore the water-salt balance on your own. The specialist must be told in detail, describe the symptoms of poisoning, indicate the dose and duration of taking the tablets.

If the victim feels well, you can fight dehydration yourself. Treatment includes taking fluids in the form of Essentuki mineral water, saline solutions (Regidron), and dried fruit compote. The total amount of liquid taken per day should be more than 2 liters.

Use during pregnancy

The instructions indicate that during pregnancy you should be wary of taking the pill due to:

1. Possible danger of uterine bleeding,
2. Threats of miscarriage
3. Disorders of the intestinal tract and absorption in other departments.

   

In cases where Senade tablets are prescribed by a doctor, the usual dose is divided in half. The course of treatment is no more than 1 time per week. If pregnancy is aggravated by serious gastrointestinal disorders, then it is better to find alternative methods of treating constipation.

Interaction with other drugs

Despite its herbal origin, precautions must be taken when taking Senade if other medications are prescribed.

The tablet contains sennosides, which enhance the effects of cardiac glycosides. If antirhythmic drugs are prescribed (Anaprilin, Veropomil, Strophantin, Concor, Stofantin), then monitoring the accumulation of potassium in the blood is necessary. Hypokalemia and increased arrhythmia are possible.

It is advisable not to use medications containing licorice root, which has an antitussive, anti-inflammatory bronchodilator effect. Alexandria leaf is not compatible with the simultaneous use of thiazide diuretics (Indapamide, Chlorothiazide, Dilothiazide). There is a slowdown in the absorption process from tetracycline tablets.

special instructions

Senade does not reduce the ability to drive vehicles, so it is allowed for drivers and persons whose activities require increased attention, working with moving mechanisms. But possible individual intolerance should be taken into account.

Side effects may be expected when taking Senade for more than fourteen days.

If you have inflammation of the internal organs of the abdominal cavity (for example, gastritis, pancreatitis), you should stop taking Senade.

If, as a result of taking the maximum permitted daily dose of Senade , this applies to both adults and children, the laxative effect does not occur, you must stop taking Senade and discuss further tactics with your doctor; constipation is probably based on other reasons.

While taking Senade, your urine may turn yellow-brown.

Contraindications

The instructions for use of the tablets provide a list of diseases for which Senade is strictly contraindicated. These include the following problems.

The symptoms and diseases listed above are not compatible with taking drastic effect tablets, which enhance peristalsis.

Overdose

Due to the increased work of the gastrointestinal tract, sections of the large intestine, due to non-compliance with medical prescriptions, the tablets cause disturbances in various organs and systems:

• Increased peristalsis causes uncontrollable diarrhea, which leads to dehydration,
• Headache, intoxication, even hallucinations are the results of a lack of fluid in the body,
• Heart rhythm disturbances, feeling of lack of air, tachycardia, bradycardia due to hypokalemia,
• Allergic reactions to senna leaf, manifested in swelling of the mucous membranes, redness of the skin, itching,
• Feeling of “pins and needles”, sweating, chilliness as a result of repeated diarrhea.

  

It is recommended to increase the amount of fluid consumed and stop taking the tablet. In special cases, plasma substitutes are administered intravenously in a hospital setting.

If you experience any symptoms of discomfort, you should immediately stop treatment and seek medical help.

Is it possible to senate with gastritis?

The drug consists of calcium sennosides A and B (senna leaf extract). It is a brown tablet.

Indications

The drug is prescribed as a laxative to relieve constipation caused by various reasons. Also prescribed in preparation for x-ray examination of the abdominal organs.

An important property is its ability not to irritate the walls of the intestines and stomach.

Contraindications

It does not apply if the patient suffers from intestinal obstruction, spastic colitis, that is, inflammation in the large intestine, which is characterized by sudden contractions of its muscles. Contraindicated in cases of suspected appendicitis.

The drug should be taken with caution and only after the recommendation of a doctor if the patient is also taking cardiac glycosides, antiarrhythmic drugs, diuretics, corticosteroids, and drugs based on licorice root.

Not intended for course use - only occasional. If constipation does not stop within 1 week, the patient should consult a doctor to find out the cause of chronic constipation, because... they can be caused by systemic diseases.

Prescribed with caution for kidney and liver diseases, chronic inflammatory processes in the intestines.

Do not take if you have individual hypersensitivity to senna or lactose.

Directions for use and doses

Take one tablet before meals, preferably in the evening (before dinner). If the effect does not come, the dose can be increased to 2 or 3 tablets.

Do not take the drug within less than two hours after taking any other medicines or exceed the recommended dose.

It is recommended to take Senade only if normalization of stool cannot be achieved through diet therapy (taking 60-70% fiber in the daily diet, minimizing proteins, fats and “fast” carbohydrates).

Try to take the minimum effective dose that is necessary to normalize intestinal function.

Overdose

Use for more than one week may cause increased intestinal atony. Therefore, if intestinal function has not recovered during this time, you should consult a doctor to identify and eliminate the cause of the disease or prescribe other symptomatic treatment.

Excessive intake may cause diarrhea that may be difficult to control, for this reason the recommended dosage should not be exceeded. Prolonged diarrhea can cause dehydration, therefore, in addition to symptomatic treatment, rehydration therapy should be carried out.

Side effects

Taking the drug may cause abdominal pain in the form of cramps and colic. Large doses of the drug cause bloating (accumulation of gases, intestinal flatulence).

Gastritis, unlike peptic ulcers, does not require surgical intervention.

At least if it is caused by the growth of polyps not described above. The duration of treatment for acute gastritis will in any case be shorter than for chronic gastritis. Even more precisely, most cases of acute inflammation of the gastric mucosa can be relieved within a week.

With the exception of large-scale burns caused by the action of acids, alkalis and other surfactants (surfactants). But with corrosive gastritis, even the total time spent by the patient on the operating table will exceed a week. And all other events - even more so.

Simplified, three main types of gastritis can be distinguished:

• erosive and hemorrhagic gastritis,
• nonerosive chronic active gastritis,
• atrophic (fundic glands) gastritis.

(Since in many cases of gastritis there is no full-fledged inflammatory response, the term “gastropathy” is now often used.)

Causes of gastritis

There are many known causes of erosive and hemorrhagic gastritis, for example:

• taking NSAIDs, local and systemic damaging effects on the mucous membrane;
• ischemia (for example, with vasculitis or marathon running);
• stress (multiple organ failure, burns, surgery, central nervous system trauma); it is likely that one of the causes of gastritis is ischemia;
• alcohol abuse, taking caustic chemicals;
• trauma (gastroscope, swallowed foreign body, retching and vomiting, etc.);
• radiation damage.

With this type of gastritis, rapid development of an acute ulcer is possible (for example, due to stress or taking NSAIDs) with the risk of massive gastric bleeding or perforation of the stomach wall.

Non-erosive chronic active gastritis is usually limited to the pylorus. In the last decade, it has been proven that the main cause of its occurrence is the colonization of the gatekeeper Helicobacter pylori.

This infection can be effectively treated with antibiotics. Helicobacter pylori suppresses the protective properties of the mucous membrane, but also stimulates the release of gastrin in the antrum, and consequently, the secretion of gastric juice by the glands of the fundus of the stomach.

These changes contribute to the development of chronic ulcers.

The next type is reactive gastritis, which occurs around areas with erosive gastritis, ulcers or surgical wounds, incl.

after surgical interventions on the antrum and pylorus due to enterogastric reflux (reflux gastritis), in which the gastric mucosa is affected by pancreatic enzymes and intestinal juice, as well as bile salts.

On the other hand, intestinal juice has an alkaline reaction, as a result of which the release of gastrin is suppressed. It also serves as a breeding ground for Helicobacter pylori. (For the same reasons, Helicobacter less frequently colonizes the antrum of the stomach in atrophic gastritis.)

Atrophic (with damage to the fundic glands) gastritis is often limited to the bottom of the stomach and occurs for completely different reasons.

At the same time, gastric juice and plasma usually contain autoantibodies (mainly represented by immunoglobulin G), accumulations of plasma cells and B-lymphocytes directed against components and waste products of parietal cells, such as microsomal lipoproteins, gastrin receptors, carbonic anhydrase, H + /K + -ATPase and intrinsic factor of Castle.

As a result, atrophy of parietal cells occurs, which leads to a significant decrease in the secretion of hydrochloric acid and intrinsic Castle factor (achlorhydria).

Antibodies to intrinsic factor Castle also prevent the binding of cobalamin to it or the uptake of intrinsic factor-cobalamin complexes by ileal cells, which causes cobalamin deficiency and pernicious anemia. Due to atrophic gastritis, more gastrin is released, which leads to hypertrophy of gastrin-producing cells.

High concentrations of gastrin appear to cause hyperplasia of enterochromaffin cells. These cells contain gastrin receptors, are located in the stomach wall and produce histamine. Sometimes hyperplasia of enterochromaffin cells can cause carcinoid. However, the main danger of atrophic gastritis is widespread metaplasia of the gastric mucosa, which is a precancerous condition, which can then lead to stomach cancer.

Specific microorganisms, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, or fungi (eg, Candida albicans), rarely cause gastritis. Such specific gastritis occurs in patients with weakened immune systems (AIDS, immunosuppression after organ transplantation, etc.).

First aid for gastritis

In case of acute gastritis, the first and most necessary measure is to lavage the stomach from everything that is currently within its limits. Regardless of the presence or absence of vomiting. If the patient’s general condition is satisfactory, consciousness is not impaired and motor ability is preserved, lavage can be arranged without the help of a doctor.

To do this, the patient must be given two or more liters of boiled warm water/saline/2 tbsp solution to drink. spoons of baking soda per liter of water. A very weak (barely pink) solution of manganese will also work. After which, all swallowed liquid should be removed back with vomiting - spontaneous or caused by pressing on the base of the tongue.

The procedure should be repeated several times until the liquid leaving the stomach is cleared of food debris, mucus, bile, and blood.

Mandatory points that must be observed when trying to help a patient before the doctor arrives are as follows:

• the patient must be conscious enough to understand the meaning of the assistant’s words and follow his instructions;
• the patient must be able to take the required body positions and perform the necessary actions - independently swallow the rinsing solution, take a supine position, hang from the bed or lean to one side when vomiting;
• Regardless of the composition of the rinsing solution, its temperature should be slightly higher than body temperature and be 40-50 °C.

If the patient’s condition makes it difficult to carry out manipulations or the swallowing function is impaired (unconsciousness, swelling of the esophagus), it is wiser to wait for medical help.

The unconscious patient must be placed on his side or face down. And fix it in this position.

This is necessary so that vomit does not accidentally clog the windpipe and cause asphyxia.

If there is suspicion of poisoning with food or non-abrasive substances, after washing, the patient should crush and give five to seven tablets of activated carbon to drink with water. Or another absorbent. A raw egg, beaten without sugar, and a decoction of flax seeds are also suitable.

If it is impossible to organize gastric lavage by other means, a gastric tube is inserted into the patient in the hospital. And to induce artificial vomiting, a subcutaneous injection of apomorphine is given and mineral water with a weak alkaline environment is supplied through a tube.

To cleanse the intestines of everything that has managed to penetrate into it from the stomach, a patient with acute gastritis must be given a laxative - “Senade”, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of any vegetable oil, phenolphthalein (purgen), magnesium sulfate.

How to take for weight loss

One of the positive effects of Senade is the cleansing of the intestines with plant components, which is welcome when dieting and losing excess weight. Therefore, Senade is recommended as an additional medicine for those who want to stay slim or lose weight.

Nutritionists recommend taking the medicine for 2 days in a row, one tablet at a time. Then you need to take a break and continue. A positive effect will be achieved under the conditions that a strict diet and a minimum amount of food are followed. It is overeating that can provoke constipation and negatively affect the intestinal tract.

Remember: a lot of water comes out with stool. It is necessary to replenish fluid on time, drink at least 2 liters per day. Fat cells will not disappear, but intestinal function will improve due to the normalization of smooth muscles and the removal of toxins and waste.

Despite the positive effects, there are caveats:

• Cannot be taken daily without breaks
• There is a loss of nutrients and electrolytes, causing metabolic disorders,
• Side effects are common, including kidney failure,
• Pills are addictive
• If taken for more than 2 weeks, signs of dehydration may occur.
• Treatment only under the supervision of a nutritionist, endocrinologist or gastroenterologist.

As a preventative against obesity, Senade is taken no more than 2 times a week.

"Senade" for weight loss

To become slim with the help of laxatives, beauties are increasingly choosing Senade. The drug with a time-tested active ingredient is safe to use and inspires confidence.

However, you should not rush to take it. In order to safely and effectively obtain the desired effect, you need to consult with your doctor and agree on an individual dose of the drug , become familiar with possible side effects, and do the necessary tests to identify hidden risk factors. Any, even the safest medicine has a certain risk if the dosage is incorrectly calculated and the characteristics of the body are not taken into account.

In addition, the effectiveness of laxatives for weight loss does not have an evidence base, and they can be hazardous to health if used for a long time. Any laxative, and “Senade” is no exception, contributes to dehydration of the body, which in turn, with prolonged and uncontrolled use, leads to chronic diseases and other troubles. Thus, nails and hair are most often affected, metabolism can slow down significantly due to dehydration, metabolism is also disrupted, and a person begins to suffer from headaches and dizziness.

“Senade,” when used for weight loss, is dangerous because it puts the body into a certain shock, regularly interfering with its peristalsis and preventing food from being absorbed, as nature intended. The result of such an intervention can be the opposite effect - the body perceives as a threat the fact that nutrients are not absorbed. For the purpose of self-preservation, he will begin to work “in reserve,” accumulating fat mass most actively in order to survive “difficult times.”

Due to the apparent safety of the drug, many began to take it without a doctor’s testimony, arbitrarily prescribing dosages for themselves and determining the duration of use. Therefore, Senade, as the most popular remedy, becomes the culprit of the unpleasant symptoms that arise due to an overdose .

Side effects

Despite the benefits of the medicine for normalizing stool, the drug from Alexandria leaf has a negative effect on the organs. Its use actively affects the mucous membranes. Doctors note pronounced and subtle violations.

Symptoms do not appear often. The characteristics of the disorder are affected by overdose, non-compliance with diet, and self-treatment without medical monitoring of important vital signs.

Contraindications and side effects

Contraindications for taking Senade are:

• rectal hemorrhages;
• high susceptibility to the constituent substances of the product;
• severe water-salt imbalance (hypokalemia);
• cystitis;
• vomit;
• nausea;
• pain syndrome in the epigastrium of unknown etiology;
• organic liver damage;
• intestinal obstruction;
• bleeding in the uterus;
• bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract;
• inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract in the acute stage (colitis, Crohn's disease);

  

• strangulated hernia;
• spastic pain syndrome;
• unspecified gastrointestinal pathologies that could occur after surgical procedures or due to acute intestinal pathologies (frequent diarrhea, peritonitis, appendicitis, diverticulitis).

More often, the medicine does not cause adverse reactions, but sometimes reversible undesirable effects may occur; they last for a short time if therapy is interrupted or the dosage of the medicine is reduced.

Senade (the tablets should not be taken if any side effects occur) require prior consultation with a medical specialist who will consider the need to continue treatment with this medicine.

Analogs

The drug market offers instead medications with similar effects that help cope with long-term constipation, bowel movements, and normalization of stool. The range of assortments is large. The drug and its analogues are divided into two groups: natural components and chemical formulas that promote safe bowel movements, evacuation of feces, and normalization of stool. These can be tablets, suppositories or solution, powder, drops.

All analogues of Senade tablets act the same, but when taking it, it is necessary to take into account possible allergies, intolerance to active substances, and the occurrence of acute conditions of indomitable diarrhea.

Harm from Senade

Harm from taking Senade can only be expected as a result of taking it for more than two weeks or when self-prescribed without examining the digestive tract and finding out the cause of difficulty in bowel movements:

• loss of beneficial electrolytes: calcium, chlorine, potassium, magnesium and sodium.
• loss of water reserves;
• with long-term use, addiction may develop;
• abdominal pain, increased gas formation, vomiting, nausea, albuminuria, hematuria, drop in blood pressure, various types of impaired consciousness, skin rashes, seizures, muscle weakness.

Reviews

Margarita Georgievna, 65 years old. I have been suffering from chronic constipation for several years in a row. There is no bowel movement for several days in a row, which brings real suffering. For such long periods, the doctor advised taking a laxative. I immediately bought a large package of Senade, especially since there was a discount at the pharmacy. I take it as directed by the doctor for 2-3 days at night, then take a break. The effect is excellent. In the morning, the stool is like a baby’s, everything is on the clock. I have recommended it to everyone I know who is experiencing the same problems.

Ivan Sergeevich, 48 years old. I am a driver with extensive experience. Due to a constantly sedentary lifestyle, excess weight, and lifting loads, I began to suffer from hemorrhoids. Going to the toilet is like going to Calvary, the pain is terrible, then I can’t sit normally for half a day. The nodes are very large, and I’m afraid to operate. The Senade tablet really saves me. I’ll drink one, and the next day I’ll go quietly. Great medicine.

Elizaveta, 24 years old. For as long as I can remember, I have been on diets all my life. I try different things. I prefer Senade for weight loss. But you can't take too much of it. I feel nauseous, sometimes to the point of vomiting. But the result is good in terms of cleansing the intestines. Due to an established daily bowel movement, I managed to lose 8 kg. For half a year. I think that a tablet is needed to treat the intestines, especially when you are on a diet. You need to be able to choose what suits you best.

Is it possible to drink senade with gastritis?

One of the most unpleasant symptoms of any stomach disease is constipation, which is the absence of bowel movements for two or more days, as well as the occurrence of quite severe pain when trying to go to the toilet.

Very often, this problem also worries those patients who suffer from gastritis due to low or high acidity.

How to get rid of constipation and what can you do to minimize the risk of it occurring in the future? We will try to answer these questions in this article.

If a patient suffers from chronic gastritis, the causes of constipation may be ignoring the need for drug treatment of the disease and poor nutrition. For example, the likelihood of this symptom occurring will be very high if you abuse the following products:

• white bread or pastries;
• hot tea or coffee;
• chocolate, as well as other products made from cocoa;
• rice and potatoes. They cause constipation due to their high starch content;
• quince, pear and other fruits with astringent properties;
• almost any sweets.

In addition to constipation, with chronic gastritis, the so-called irritable bowel syndrome often occurs, the symptoms of which are a feeling of incomplete emptying, as well as inflammatory processes in the digestive tract.

Quite often with gastritis, constipation occurs during an exacerbation of the disease. In this case, the symptom manifests itself much stronger. The patient may not go to the toilet at all for several days in a row.

This condition should not be ignored under any circumstances.

It is best to consult a doctor who will prescribe effective and safe laxatives and do an enema to cleanse the stomach.

The above-mentioned medications and enemas help relieve constipation and alleviate the patient's condition. However, with erosive gastritis and other severe forms of this disease, taking laxatives is quite dangerous. In addition, constipation may recur, requiring repeated use of pills or potions.

That is why it is better to get rid of such an unpleasant symptom in completely different ways. The most basic of them is switching to proper nutrition and following a diet. First of all, it is necessary to exclude the products listed above from the diet, and also limit the consumption of fatty, fried, smoked and salty foods to a minimum.

If you have gastritis, you should never put too much stress on your digestive system. It is best to increase the number of meals to 5-6 per day, taking breaks between them no more than 3 hours. You need to eat in small portions so that the food has time to be completely digested.

To relieve constipation, it is very important to drink plenty of water. For an adult, the norm of its consumption is about 1.5-2 liters per day. However, you can always calculate your individual amount by multiplying your weight by 30 milligrams.

If constipation occurs very often, you should include in your diet the following foods that cleanse the digestive tract and greatly facilitate the process of bowel movements:

• kefir, starter cultures or yoghurts. This group of food products contains lactic acid, therefore, in case of gastritis occurring against the background of high acidity, they should be consumed with extreme caution;
• boiled vegetables - carrots, beets, potatoes and others. It is best to cook them in a steamer;
• bran;
• any nuts;
• buckwheat, oatmeal or barley porridge, which not only help get rid of constipation, but also cleanse the stomach and intestines of toxins;
• apples, apricots, peaches, plums and other fruits;
• fresh herbs - celery, dill, parsley, etc.

Compotes and fruit drinks made from fresh fruits and berries, and herbal decoctions are also great for constipation. These drinks should not be drunk hot or refrigerated. They will give the best effect at room temperature.

If constipation does not give you any rest for more than three days, and changing your diet does not help, do not rush to take laxatives. First we recommend trying to take a lot of castor oil.

It softens feces accumulated in the intestines, and also significantly improves the functioning of the digestive system.

Thanks to this, you can not only get rid of constipation, but also eliminate the occurrence of cracks, which are a frequent accompaniment of this symptom.

If taking laxatives becomes necessary, be sure to consult your doctor. The thing is that such medications are made from a variety of components, and some of them can be quite dangerous for some types of gastritis. Follow your doctor's recommendations and you will be able to eliminate any risks.

Regular bowel movements indicate normal functioning of the digestive system. If constipation occurs, you should not postpone going to the doctor, as the situation will only get worse.

Every day the stool becomes harder, and it becomes more difficult to remove it from the rectum. One of the commonly used preparations is Senade, a herbal remedy that contains senna leaves.

To successfully treat constipation, you need to know the specifics of administration, dosage, and possible side effects.

The effect of the drug Senade is achieved thanks to the extract of senna leaves, directly sennosides. Additional components are represented by lactose, starch, talc, cellulose. All components contribute to bowel movement.

Senade has an irritating effect for constipation. After taking the tablet, the biologically active substances bind to specific receptors in the colon. The drug has a greater effect on the colon, as it provides peristalsis and movement of food.

As a result, the intestines are stimulated and their contents come out faster. The medicine does not affect the consistency of stool. There are laxatives that make them more liquid.

Senade activates peristalsis, feces remain firm and well-formed, and there is no tendency to diarrhea, which is the main advantage.

1. Admission can be long-term, addiction is not typical.

2. After withdrawal, the intestines function normally, constipation and atony are not observed.

3. Senade does not affect the absorption and digestion of food, all trace elements and vitamins are absorbed.

5. During pregnancy, taking pills is strictly prohibited; the tone of the uterus may increase, which often leads to premature birth.

Senade is used for constipation caused by insufficient bowel activity. It is especially effective for slow, sluggish peristalsis. Laxatives can be taken for functional constipation, when there is no urge to go to the toilet. These conditions are quite common, and risk groups are especially affected:

1. Physical inactivity or reduced physical activity contributes to the development of constipation. A sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition reduce peristalsis. Therefore, regular exercise, walking, swimming will help prevent this disease.

2. In bedridden patients or patients after surgery, the risk of problems with stool is much higher. Therefore, you cannot wait several days, it is better to immediately start taking Senade tablets, the stool will not be hard, and the act of defecation will be painless.

3. Pregnant women. Due to the enlargement of the uterus, the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract is disrupted. But the drug is contraindicated when carrying a child; you need to carefully read the description of the medicine; preference is given to other laxatives.

Dosage and rules of use

The drug has a single form of release - tablets, they are brown in color, easily divided into two halves due to a small depression. It is recommended to take Senade orally with a sufficient amount of liquid.

Attention! The laxative effect does not appear immediately, but after 7-8 hours. Therefore, the optimal way would be to drink Senade in the evening; the urge to defecate will begin in the morning.

Doctors are often asked the question, how to take constipation pills correctly? There are clear recommendations; you can read them in the instructions or ask your doctor directly.

1. For children over 12 years old and adults.

Treatment begins with 1 tablet, taken in the evening. If bowel movement does not occur within 2-3 days, the dosage can be increased by another half. The maximum quantity is 3 pieces, otherwise there is a risk of overdose.

You cannot drink Senade on your own for more than 3 days. In this case, you should consult a doctor, since constipation may be caused by another reason, for example, blockage of the lumen by a tumor, adhesive obstruction of the intestine.

No matter how you increase the dosage, there will be no effect.

The weight of a child at this age is small, and therefore less active substance is required. It is enough to take half a tablet of Senade once a day before bed; if there is no result, double the dose. Before using various drug treatments, it is better to consult a doctor to find out the cause of constipation.

Note! While taking Senade you need to drink at least 3 liters of water per day. The liquid makes stool less hard and speeds up bowel movements.

The drug affects intestinal motility; if the dosage exceeds the permissible figures, diarrhea will occur.

In this case, it is better to stop taking the pills and drink a lot of water to combat dehydration, as well as products that contain electrolytes and salts.

Please note that laxatives enhance the effect of cardiac glycosides and antiarrhythmic drugs. Therefore, when taken simultaneously, the dosage must be selected correctly.

Despite its plant origin and mild laxative effect, Senade has its contraindications; before taking it, you need to carefully study the instructions. An overview of the most common reasons when you should stop taking the drug is presented below.

1. If there is an allergic reaction to the components of the medicine.

2. The cause of difficult bowel movements can be not only intestinal atony, but also other conditions. In case of intestinal obstruction, tumors, spastic constipation, the use of the drug does not have an effect, but aggravates the situation even more.

3. In case of inflammatory processes in the intestines, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, strangulated hernia, the passage of hard feces will further damage the mucous membrane.

The presence of symptoms such as: 1. bitterness in the mouth, putrid odor; 2. frequent gastrointestinal disorders, alternating constipation with diarrhea; 3. fatigue, general lethargy;

indicate intoxication of the body by parasites. Treatment must begin now, as helminths that live in the digestive tract or respiratory system.

4. Severe diseases of the body, cardiovascular, renal failure, bleeding, peritonitis are direct contraindications.

5. After surgery, excessive bowel activity can lead to dangerous complications, such as suture dehiscence.

6. Pregnant women with constipation should not take Senade tablets.

During the period of bearing a child with constipation, it is recommended to be careful with all medications, laxatives are no exception.

Senna leaf extract in the early stages increases the tone of the uterus, increasing the risk of miscarriage. In the third trimester, too active peristalsis can cause discomfort, constantly irritating the fetus.

The pills stimulate labor and cause premature contractions.

Carefully! Even herbal preparations can harm the baby during pregnancy, so you should not take medications on your own.
