SENOKOT®-S is a dual action constipation treatment: a natural senna laxative plus stool softener for gentle overnight relief of occasional constipation and hard dry stools.
The stool softener in SENOKOT®-S is docusate sodium which helps to draw water into the intestine, making it easier for hard dry stool to pass through.
The natural senna used in SENOKOT®-S is extracted from the deseeded and dried pods of the Senna Alexandrina flower.
Senna has been used as a natural laxative for thousands of years to relieve constipation. The senna in SENOKOT®-S works by enhancing the body’s natural wave-like contractions in the colon (peristalsis) to help promote a bowel movement.
SENOKOT®-S typically takes effect in 6-12 hrs and can be taken at bedtime for gentle overnight relief of occasional constipation and hard dry stools.
