Grains De Vals Neue Formel
Grains De Vals Neue Formel Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Senna glycoside, also known as sennoside or senna, is a medication used to treat constipation and empty the large intestine before surgery. The medication is taken by mouth or via the rectum. It typically begins working in minutes when given by rectum and within twelve hours when given by mouth. It is a weaker laxative than bisacodyl or castor oil.
Grains De Vals Neue Formel A and B increase intestinal motility through release of active anthraquinones into the colon by colonic bacteria. Purified sennosides (sennosides A and B) are used similarly to senna.
Senna stimulates peristalsis and increases fecal water content to increase motility of feces through the large intestine.

How Grains De Vals Neue Formel works
Sennoside A and B, the components of senna, are metabolized by gut bacteria into the active metabolite rheinanthrone Rheinanthrone. Rheinanthrone Rheinanthrone appears to increase cyclooxegenase 2 (COX2) expression in macrophage cells leading to an increase in prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). This increase in PGE2 is associated with a decrease in aquaporin 3 expression in mucosal epithelial cells of the large intestine. A decrease in aquaporin 3 expression likely produces the laxative effect by restricting water reabsorption by the large intestine thereby increasing fecal water content. The exact mechanism by which rheinanthrone increases COX2 expression is unknown. Rheinanthrone Rheinanthrone also stimulates peristalsis in the large intestine although the mechanism behind this effect is unknown. Rhein Rhein, another active metabolite is thought to excite submucosal acetylcholinergic neurons resulting in increased chloride and prostaglandin secretion. The movement of chloride ions into the large intestine would also help to draw water into the lumen.
Dosage
Grains De Vals Neue Formel dosage
Constipation
- Adult: 15-30 mg (as total sennosides) 1-2 times daily.
- Child: 2-6 yr: 3.75-7.5 mg once daily in the morning; 6-12 yr: 7.5-15 mg once daily at night or in the morning; ≥12 yr: 15-30 mg at bedtime.
Bowel evacuation
- Adult: 105-157.5 mg of sennosides on the day before the procedure. May be given as a liquid preparation.
Side Effects
Mild abdominal discomfort e.g. colic and cramps; diarrhoea, hypokalaemia and atonic non-functioning colon (prolonged use); reversible melanosis coli (chronic use). May colour the urine yellowish-brown at acidic pH or red at alkaline pH.
Toxicity
Senna causes increased amounts of apoptosis in the large intestine shortly after use due to upregulated p53 activity. This is normally reversed after 18 hours however chronic use has been shown to be associated with p53 resistance and potential carcinogenicity leading to colon cancer. The LD50 value in rats was 5000mg/kg. Subacute studies in rats receiving 20mg/kg and dogs receiving 500mg/kg did not produce signs of toxicity. Tests for mutagenicity and reproductive toxicity do not indicate toxic effects.
Grains De Vals Neue Formel are not recommended for use in pregnancy due to genotoxic risks associated with chemically similar compounds. The active metabolite of sennosides is excreted in breast milk, though there are no reports of the laxitive effect in breast fed babies. There is no data on the effects of sennosides on fertility.
Precaution
Inflammatory bowel disease. Avoid prolonged use.
Food Interaction
- Avoid natural licorice. Licorice root can induce hypokalemia in patients taking sennosides.
Volume of Distribution
The volume of distribution of radiolabelled intravenous sennoside B in rats was 0.802±0.124L/kg.
Elimination Route
12.
Half Life
The half life of radiolabelled intravenous sennoside B in rats was 8.568±0.651h.
Clearance
The clearance of radiolabelled intravenous sennoside B in rats was 0.065±0.007L/h/kg.
Elimination Route
3-6% of metabolites are excreted in urine with some in bile. >90% of sennosides are excreted in the feces as polymers with 2-6% of the parent compounds excreted unchanged.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use
Grains De Vals Neue Formel has been assigned to pregnancy category C by the FDA. Animal studies have failed to reveal evidence of teratogenicity. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Grains De Vals Neue Formel should only be given during pregnancy when benefits outweigh risks.
Grains De Vals Neue Formel is not excreted into human milk. However, Grains De Vals Neue Formel is a prodrug which is metabolized in vivo to the active sennosides (glucosides of rhein). Rhein is excreted into human milk in very small amounts. No adverse effects have been observed in nursing infants. The American Academy of Pediatrics considers Grains De Vals Neue Formel to be compatible with breast-feeding.
