HR-39 (LEXAPIN)

Introductions:

Constipation:

Constipation is a condition of the digestive system where an individual has hard stool that are difficult to expel. In most cases, this occurs because the colon has absorbed too much water from the food that is in the colon.

Causes:

Constipation occurs when the colon absorbs too much water. This can occur if the muscles in the colon are contracting slowly or poorly, causing the stool to move too slowly and lose more water.

These are the most common causes of constipation:

• Lack of fiber in the diet.
• Physical inactivity.
• Medications
• Due to milk.
• Irritable bowel syndrome.
• Pregnancy.
• Aging.
• Changes in routine.
• Overuse of laxatives.
• Not drinking enough water.
• Problems with the colon or rectum.

Signs and symptoms:

Signs and symptoms of constipation include:

• Passing fewer than three stools a week.
• Having lumpy or hard stools.
• Straining to have bowel movements.
• Feeling as though there’s a blockage in rectum that prevents bowel movements.
• Feel as can’t completely empty the rectum.
• Needs help to empty rectum, such as using hands to press abdomen and using a finger to remove stool from rectum.

Constipation may be considered chronic if two or more of these symptoms persist for at least three months.

Indications:

Constipation occurs when bowel movements become difficult or less frequent. The main causes of constipation are low fiber diet, repeatedly ignoring the urge to go, not drinking enough water, and lack of exercise. It is said that constipation is root cause of many diseases. Masood’s HR 39 promptly gives relief from constipation.

Pharmacology:

HR 39 contains Senna, which is anthranoid-type stimulating laxative. It contains sennosides, and its metabolite rhein anthrone inhibits the water and electrolyte absorption from the large intestine, which increases the volume and the pressure of intestinal content, this will stimulate the colon motility resulting in the propulsive contractions.HR 39 has a powerful laxative effect partially via stimulation of colonic fluid and electrolyte secretion, and this secretion is mediated by stimulation of endogenous prostaglandins E2 formation. Moreover HR 39 contains Nux vomica which increases reflex excitability. Endogenic and exogenic stimuli reach the target organ without hindrance, and as a result possess a strengthened effect that can attribute to alkaloid strychnine and brucine; these are competitive antagonists of neurotransmitter glycine. HR 39 acts as cholinolytic and thus inhibits the secretion of saliva, perspiration, and fluids from the gastric and intestinal glands, accelerate the heart rate, and relax the smooth   muscles of the bronchi and stomach. They are used to treat renal, hepatic, intestinal colic and gastric and duodenal ulcers, to dilate the pupils, and to relieve bronchospasm.
