Complex of senna, fennel and apricot extracts tablets 500 mg 30 pcs. in Moscow

“Complex of senna, fennel and apricot extracts” is intended to support the active functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. It has been established that gastrointestinal motility can slow down not only due to various diseases or after taking certain medications, but also for other reasons. The most common of them:

poor nutrition (lack of dietary fiber);
insufficient fluid intake (especially water, juices or broths);
sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work, physical inactivity;
emotional or physical stress;
depression;
frequent business trips, travel, change of residence.

“Complex of senna, fennel and apricot extracts” will be useful for those in whose life any of the listed factors occur. After all, the slow functioning of the intestines causes discomfort not only physical, but also psychological. And taking a herbal complex that gently stimulates the gastrointestinal tract will help maintain your usual lightness and activity.

Senna extract

Senna is one of the most popular remedies for improving bowel function. The effectiveness of senna has been proven by more than a century of experience in its use in medicine. The active ingredients of senna are sennosides or anthraquinones. They cause liquefaction of the intestinal contents, enhance its motor function and accelerate bowel movements. Senna usually begins to act 6-10 hours after administration.

The use of sennosides is not associated with a significant risk of toxic effects, so they can be taken in small quantities for several weeks.

Fennel extract

Fennel extract stimulates the production of gastric juice and enhances motility, thereby accelerating the evacuation of intestinal contents. The active substances contained in fennel prevent the accumulation of gases and promote their removal, which leads to the return of the intestines to a more comfortable state. It is important that fennel has a slight choleretic effect, and as you know, bile salts are a natural laxative and are necessary for the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

Dried apricot juice

Apricot juice contains dietary fiber of pectin nature. They are a natural sorbent that captures toxins and stimulates the digestive tract. In addition, apricot juice suppresses the growth of putrefactive intestinal microflora, which improves digestion and reduces gas formation.

Helpful advice: while taking the Senna, Fennel and Apricot Extract Complex, try to drink more water, juices and broths, especially in the first half of the day, as they are necessary for the normal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. But alcohol, tea and other drinks containing caffeine do not improve digestion.

Symptoms and treatment of overdose

Accidentally exceeding the recommended amount of Senade can provoke diarrhea, complicated by dehydration. First aid is to increase fluid intake to replenish losses of water and electrolytes. In difficult cases, the patient needs hospitalization and rehabilitation measures.

If signs of overdose appear (dyspeptic disorders, severe dryness of the oral mucosa, cephalgia), the patient should contact the local clinic. When visiting a therapist, he needs to describe in detail the problems that have arisen and receive a scheme for restoring water and electrolyte balance.

Reviews from doctors about senna leaves

Pharmacist, pharmacology teacher, editor-in-chief of MedCorr Olga Zorina:

– Senna leaves are one of the most famous laxatives, used both for preparing an infusion and in the form of finished medications (tablets). It has a quick laxative effect, milder than synthetic agents. However, the herbal medicine should not be used constantly and for a long time, as it can have a negative effect on intestinal motility and provoke atony. That is, the intestines themselves will be lazy to work without stimulants.

Senna pouring is used with caution in children. Also, the herbal medicine is not used during pregnancy and lactation, as well as for abdominal pain of unknown origin (must be examined by a surgeon first).
