Pharmacology

Psyllium Fiber & Senna Extract has documented laxative effect for Psyllium or Ispaghula husk powder (Plantago ovata) and standardized Senna extract (Cassia angustifolia). When one spoonful of powder is mixed with water it forms an orange colored and flavored drink. Psyllium (bulk-forming laxative) contains mucilage and Senna extract (stimulant laxative) contains hydroxyanthracene glycosides (as Sennoside B) that helps to relieve constipation and normalizes bowel action. The additive effect of Psyllium Fiber & Senna Extract is ensured for its combination partners. This special combination preparation accelerates intestinal passage and increases water absorption to increase filling pressure. Psyllium Fiber & Senna Extract helps to reduce pain by easy bowel evacuation with soft stool for patients who are suffering from haemorrhoids (piles), rectal surgery and colon cancer. It has soothing effects on gastric and intestinal mucosa, gastric irritation and ulceration. Psyllium Fiber & Senna Extract helps to maintain serum cholesterol and blood glucose level.
