Side Effects
The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with senna:
As senna increases the activity of the muscle in the gut it can cause abdominal cramps.
Prolonged, excessive use of laxatives like senna can lead to chronic diarrhoea, low potassium levels in the blood (hypokalaemia) and an imbalance in the amount of fluid and salts (electrolytes) in your body, particularly if you're also taking diuretic or steroid medicines. This can cause kidney problems, among others.
Prolonged, excessive use may also make the constipation worse in the long-term, as the gut can become reliant on the laxative.
Don't exceed the recommended dose of senna or take it for more than a week unless advised to by your doctor.
