Senokot-S 60 tablets

Senokot-S 60 Tablets is a laxative medication designed to provide gentle overnight relief from occasional constipation. It combines two active ingredients for a more comprehensive approach:

Features:

• Dual Action:
  • Senna (8.6mg per tablet): This natural stimulant laxative works by increasing the movement of fluids within the intestines to promote bowel movements.
  • Docusate Sodium (100mg per tablet): This stool softener helps soften stool, making it easier to pass.
• Gentle Relief: Offers relief within 6-12 hours, often overnight.
• Natural Senna: Contains senna, a plant-based laxative, which some people prefer over synthetic options.
• Over-the-Counter: Available without a prescription.

How to Use:

• Adults and Children 12 years and older: Take 1 or 2 tablets at bedtime. Do not exceed a daily dose of 4 tablets.
• Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water.

Things to Consider:

• Read the Label Carefully: Follow the dosage instructions on the label precisely based on your age.
• Not for Everyone: Consult a doctor before using Senokot-S if you have certain medical conditions, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are taking other medications.
• Not for Long-Term Use: Senokot-S is intended for occasional relief of constipation. Chronic constipation requires medical evaluation.
• Potential Side Effects: Senokot-S may cause cramping, abdominal discomfort, or loose stools. If these persist or worsen, consult a doctor.
• Not a Cure: Senokot-S relieves constipation symptoms but doesn't address the underlying cause.

Alternatives:

• Lifestyle Changes: Increasing fiber intake, drinking plenty of fluids, and regular exercise can help promote regularity and prevent constipation.
• Other Laxatives: Depending on your needs, other laxative options like stimulant laxatives (only for short-term use) or bulk-forming laxatives (increased fiber content) might be suitable.
