zeller figs with Senna film tabl 20 pcs

What are Zeller figs with Senna film tablets and when are they used?

Zeller figs with senna film tablets contain the standardized extracts of senna and butterbur as well as dried figs.

By standardizing the active ingredients, a consistent quality of this herbal medicine is achieved in constipation.

In the recommended dosage, the extract of senna creates a soft, slippery stool. This effect is supported by the mucilage, fructose and fruit acid of the dried figs. The butterbur extract supports this effect thanks to its antispasmodic properties.

Zeller figs with senna film tablets are therefore indicated for short-term use in the case of the following complaints: occasional constipation of a general nature, constipation caused by a change in eating habits (e.g. when travelling) or bed rest.

What precautions should be taken?

If you suffer from constipation, you should

• fiber-rich food (vegetables, fruits, wholemeal bread) as well
• drink plenty of fluids and drink regularly
• Pay attention to physical activity (sport)!

This medicinal product contains approximately 185 mg of usable carbohydrates per single dose (1 film-coated tablet).

When should Zeller figs with Senna film tablets not be taken or only with caution?

Cellular figs with senna film tablets should not be used in small children, in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, eg in existing inflammatory bowel diseases, in bowel obstruction.

Because of possible habituation, laxatives should only be taken occasionally and for no longer than one to two weeks.

With long-term use, higher than the recommended doses, diarrhea with loss of water and disturbances in the salt balance can occur, as well as damage to the intestinal mucosa. Long-term treatments belong under medical supervision. Children from 6-12 years of age may only take the preparation if prescribed by a doctor.

Very rare but sometimes serious liver damage has been observed in connection with a preparation containing a specific butterbur extract (CO 2 extract). However, a liver-damaging effect cannot be ruled out for the alcoholic butterbur extract used in Zeller figs with Senna film tablets. In the case of existing liver damage, it is therefore generally not recommended to take medicines containing butterbur.

Unusual tiredness, weakness or loss of appetite and unintentional weight loss, yellowing of the conjunctivae of the eyes or skin, dark urine or discolored stools may indicate liver damage. If such symptoms occur, Zeller figs with Senna film tablets must be discontinued immediately and a doctor consulted immediately.
