With the use of glycosides inside the senna pass through the stomach and small intestine in an unchanged form, not absorbed. In the large intestine, the anthroglycosides are digested by intestinal bacteria into pharmacologically active anthrons and anthranoles,which irritate the intestinal receptors of the colon, increase peristalsis and accelerate the emptying of the intestine. Antrons and anthranols interfere with the absorption of water and electrolytes, promote the diffusion of water into the lumen of the intestine. Due to the osmotic effect, loosening of the stool masses and increasing their volume, contributing to the relaxing effect of anthraglycosides.

    The laxative effect is manifested after 6-10 hours. With prolonged use of the drug, the intensity of its action may decrease due to a decrease in potassium in the body.
