What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description

Senna is a medication used short-term for constipation. Senna may also be used for bowel emptying prior to surgery or other medical procedures.

Senna is classified as a stimulant laxative, increasing intestinal activity that leads to a bowel movement.

You can find Senna in a liquid, tablets, gummies, granules, and powder for oral administration.

Directions

Take Senna as directed on the product or prescription label. It is generally taken one or two times a day. Bowel movements typically occur within 6 to 12 hours of taking Senna.

If you do not experience a regular bowel movement after using Senna, stop taking the medication and contact your doctor. Taking Senna frequently or continuously can cause laxative dependence, which can result in your bowels losing their normal function. Senna should not be taken for more than one week without first consulting your doctor.

Keep Senna stored at room temperature and out of children’s reach; protect from heat and moisture.

Any questions or concerns you have may be referred to your doctor or pharmacist.

Ingredients

Senna contains sennosides.

A list of Senna laxative ingredients may be found on the product label or in the product guide.

Contraindications

Cautions

    • All the prescription and nonprescription medications you take, including other laxatives
    • Your allergies
    • Your current health conditions
    • Your past medical history
    • Your pregnancy or breastfeeding status
  • Senna is associated with the following precautions:
    • Immediately inform your doctor of any stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, or sudden bowel movement changes that last longer than two weeks.
    • Senna is usually not recommended for long-term use in older adults, as there are safer options for treating constipation.

Side Effects

Senna side effects may include but are not limited to brown urine, faintness, stomach discomfort/cramps, nausea, and rectal bleeding.

Immediately contact your doctor if you experience bothersome or persistent side effects.
