Pharmacology
This medicine combines Ispaghula Seed, Ispaghula Husk and Tinnevelly Senna Pods (Senna), and it is made to relieve acute constipation. The Ispaghula Husk in it contains up to 70% soluble fibre and 30% insoluble fibre, and it can absorb up to 40 times its own weight in water. That is why it works as a bulking agent. It swells as it takes up water in the bowel, and the extra bulk helps regulate bowel movement.
Ispaghula Seed also helps relieve constipation. Senna is a stimulant laxative. It contains sennosides, which stimulate the muscles lining the gut and so relieve constipation. Together, the combination of Ispaghula Husk, Ispaghula Seed and Senna gives relief from acute constipation.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
If you're pregnant, it's best not to use this combination of Ispaghula Husk, Ispaghula Seed and Tinnevelly Senna Pods in the first three months. Senna in the preparation may pass into breast milk and cause diarrhea in infants, so it's better not to take it while breastfeeding either.
