Sennosides
Sennosides are stimulant laxatives obtained from the leaves and fruits of the Senna plant, used for the treatment of constipation. They act by stimulating the enteric nerves of the large intestine, increasing intestinal motility and promoting bowel movements. They are converted by intestinal bacteria into active metabolites that stimulate colonic contractions and increase water and electrolyte secretion into the intestine. Sennosides are administered orally in the form of tablets, capsules and syrups. They generally produce a laxative effect within 6–12 hours and are often taken at bedtime. Common side effects include abdominal cramps, nausea, diarrhoea and electrolyte imbalance. Prolonged or excessive use may cause dehydration and dependence on laxatives.
