Ito Kampo Pharmaceutical Senna Tablets I

● Features
Senna Tablets I are a product that makes the herbal medicine senna leaves into easy-to-take tablets. The component sennoside contained in senna leaves is metabolized by intestinal bacteria in the large intestine into a metabolite called rhein anthrone, which stimulates the large intestine and enhances peristaltic movement. It softens hardened stool in the intestines and induces natural-like bowel movements.

＜Precautions related to Ingredients/Quantity＞
* Since this medicine uses natural products (herbal medicines) as raw materials, there may be slight differences in taste, aroma, color, etc., but the effect remains unchanged, so please take it with confidence.
* As a characteristic of laxatives, if taken daily, their effectiveness gradually decreases (an effect called "habit formation"), so it is recommended to alternate with other constipation medicines that do not use senna as the main ingredient.
* Urine may turn yellow-brown to red, but this is due to the ingredients and is not a cause for concern.
