method for preparing a laxative on the basis of weegbreezaad and sennavruchten and the resulting laxative.

摘要

A laxative composition, comprising ground psyllium seeds and senna fruits, the senna fruit being in a form substantially enveloped by swollen psyllium seeds is prepared by mixing separately ground psyllium seeds and senna fruits in a dry state, moistening the resulting ground mixture rapidly and uniformly with barely sufficient water, quickly granulating the resulting mixture and drying the same in a manner preventing substantial swelling to give a product having a residual moisture content of no more than 3.5% by weight of water and then coating the composition with a pharmacologically acceptable material.
