Curable Disease:

EFFECTS OF BIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY leaves of Cassia angustifolia polysaccharide fractions were tested with allogenic tumor Sarcoma-180 in mice, have a positive effect in the inhibition pertumbulian Sarcoma-180. Senosida A in the body will undergo an enzymatic hydrolysis reaction and reduction of intestinal bacterial flora (Entamoeba coli) to rein anthrone. Rein anthrone is a compound that induces the secretion of water and prevent reabsorption of water in the digestive tract, so it can be used in an effort to cure acute constipation. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Time senna acts ranged from 8-10 hours, so it should be taken at night time. Senosida can eliminate patient complaints of constipation (irritable bowel syndrome). At therapeutic doses did not reveal any interference when defecation habits; may soften the stool and increase the speed of transit of food through increased colonic peristalsis. Senosida slightly absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract. SECURITIES NOT DESIRED In long-term use or misuse will result in a loss of electrolytes (especially potassium ions) and can be a cause of albuminuria, hematuria, deposition of pigment in the intestinal mucosa and damage to the myenteric plexus. INDICATIONS CONTRAINDICATIONS Illeus, intestinal obstruction, stenosis, Atoni, inflammation, colonopathics, appendicitis, dehydration status, chronic constipation, pregnant women, and nursing, as well as children under the age of 10 years. INTERACTION The interaction with cardiac glycosides (digitalis, strophanthus) can increase the excretion of potassium ions. In hypokalemia (due to the use of laxatives long numbers), can increase the effects of antiarrhythmic drugs (such as whiskers kinidin). Use with other drugs that induce hypokalemia as tiazida, adrenokortikosteroid or Liquiritiae Radix may spur the onset of electrolyte imbalance. TOXICITY senna leaves can cause pain and dermatitis. The primary symptom is diarrhea resulting from a severe overdose, so there is the possibility of loss of fluids and electrolytes.
