Curable Disease:
EFFECTS OF BIOLOGY AND FARMAKOLOGI polysaccharide fraction Cassia angustifolia leaves tested with allogenic tumor Sarcoma-180 in mice, a positive effect in the inhibition pertumbulian Sarcoma-180. Senosida A in the body will experience an enzymatic hydrolysis reaction and the reduction of intestinal bacterial flora (Entamoeba coli) to rein antron. Antron Rein is a compound that induces the secretion of water and prevent the reabsorption of water in the digestive tract, which can be used in an attempt to cure acute constipation. CLINIC FARMAKOLOGI action senna time between 8-10 hours, so that should be taken at night. Senosida can eliminate the patient's complaint of constipation (irritable bowel syndrome).

Senosida slightly absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Adverse effects on long-term use or misuse will result in loss of electrolytes (especially potassium ions) and can be a cause of albuminuria, haematuria, pigment deposition in the intestinal mucosa and damage to the myenteric plexus. INDICATION contra Illeus, intestinal damage, stenosis, atoni, inflammation, colonopathics, Appendisitis, dehydration status, chronic constipation, pregnant women, and breastfeeding, as well as children under the age of 10 years. INTERACTION The interaction with cardiac glycosides (digitalis, strophanthus) can increase excretion of potassium ions. In hypokalemia (due to the use of laxatives long rates), can occur antiaritmia increased drug effect (such as misaInya kinidin). Use with other drugs that induce the occurrence of hypokalemia such as tiazida, Liquiritiae Radix adrenokortikosteroid or stimulate the emergence of an electrolyte imbalance.
