Tamarine

Tamarine is an over-the-counter herbal laxative marmalade developed and marketed by Gerolymatos International. It is primarily indicated for the short-term treatment of occasional constipation. The formulation is a combination of natural plant extracts, with the primary active pharmacological component being senna (Cassia angustifolia), which provides a stimulant laxative effect through its sennoside content. Other ingredients typically include tamarind (Tamarindus indica), cassia fistula, and coriander, which contribute to the product's jam-like consistency and assist in its laxative properties. Tamarine works by stimulating the enteric nervous system and the colonic mucosa, thereby increasing intestinal motility and promoting bowel evacuation.
