Cascara Sagrada 450 mg

Overview
Cascara Sagrada is a stimulant laxative that may effectively relieve constipation by stimulating colonic peristalsis and increasing water and electrolyte secretion into the colon. While it may improve bowel movement frequency and stool consistency, its long-term effectiveness is not well-supported, and its use should be limited to short periods.

Risk of dehydration and electrolyte imbalances with prolonged use.
