Executive Summary
SENNA CURRENT DATA SUPPORTS CONTINUED CATEGORY I STATUS AS OTC LAXATIVE ingredient, the Purdue Frederick company maintained in a May 28 letter to FDA. "As manufacturer of several senna products, we maintain a keen awareness of scientific findings relevant to our products," the company said. "These data confirm that senna products are not carcinogenic or genotoxic in vivo." As a result, "we respectfully recommend that the listing of senna as a Category I OTC laxative ingredient not be changed," Purdue Frederick stated.
