Pharmacological properties
The cleansing effect of Senade is due to the effect on the mechanoreceptors of the large intestine, 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 colon wall, which leads to increased peristaltic activity.
Strength, amplitude and duration of bowel wall movements increase. Due to the contractions of the muscle structure, the intestines are emptied. Senade does not affect the consistency of feces, bowel cleansing occurs unchanged, shaped stool.
Senade does not affect the process of digestion and assimilation 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 after 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 the beneficial intestinal microflora, its active components (sennosides) are hydrolyzed into free anthraquinones. The main part is excreted in the feces and a small amount through the kidneys.

Appointment 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 do not affect the state of the stool in any way, so defecation can be quite unpleasant. This is due to the fact that the long stay of feces in the intestinal lumen leads to the suction 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 outside, the intestines are intensely contracted, which can cause cramping abdominal pains, which are extremely unpleasant and dangerous during pregnancy.
In such a situation, intense bowel movements and severe pain in the belly of a pregnant woman, they can provoke strong muscle contractions of the abdominal wall, reminiscent of those during pushing. It is quite understandable that tension in the abdominal wall and abdominal pain can result in premature birth or the threat of miscarriage. The threat of miscarriage at short stages of pregnancy while taking Senade is also explained by the fact that the pills 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 medical advice. 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 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 for more than three days, then Senade should be discarded, since the drug will cause strong contractions of the intestinal muscles, severe spastic pain and a significant increase in uterine tone. Prophylactically, Senade can be used during pregnancy, for example, in the evening before going to bed, after a long and hard day, so that a 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 bedtime.
