Senokot Tablets for Gentle Constipation Relief

 

You can rely on Senokot senna tablets to provide gentle, overnight relief from constipation. Each tablet contains standardised senna extract, a natural ingredient that has been used for centuries to help restore regular bowel movements. This pack contains 20 tablets, providing you with a convenient solution when you need reliable constipation relief.

Senokot works by stimulating the muscles in your bowel wall, encouraging natural movement and helping to relieve the discomfort associated with constipation. The tablets are designed to work gradually, typically taking 8-12 hours to take effect, making them ideal for taking before bedtime.

 

How Senna Extract Works in Your Digestive System

 

The active ingredient in these tablets works by increasing muscle contractions in your intestinal wall. This natural stimulant action helps move waste through your digestive system more effectively, addressing the root cause of constipation rather than just masking symptoms.

Senna belongs to a group of medicines called stimulant laxatives. When you take the tablet, the active compounds are released in your large intestine, where they stimulate nerve endings in the bowel wall. This process encourages the natural rhythmic contractions that help move waste material through your system.

 

Who Can Benefit from Natural Laxative Treatment

 

These tablets are suitable for adults and children over 12 years who experience occasional constipation. You might find them particularly helpful if you haven't had a bowel movement for several days or if you're experiencing discomfort due to hard, dry stools.

Senokot may be appropriate for you if you experience:

  • Infrequent bowel movements (fewer than three per week)
  • Difficulty passing stools
  • Hard or lumpy stools
  • Feeling of incomplete evacuation after using the toilet

If you have ongoing digestive concerns, you may also benefit from exploring our constipation collection for additional treatment options.

 

Why Choose Standardised Senna Extract

 

The standardised extract in these tablets ensures consistent potency and reliable results. Unlike some herbal preparations where the active ingredient content can vary, senokot tablets provide a measured dose of active compounds in each tablet, giving you confidence in the treatment's effectiveness.

This standardisation means you can expect predictable results each time you use the product. The manufacturing process ensures that each tablet contains the same amount of active senna compounds, helping you manage your symptoms more effectively.

 

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

 

You should store your tablets in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep them in their original packaging until you're ready to use them, as this helps protect the active ingredients from degradation.

Always check the expiry date before taking any tablet, and never use the product beyond this date. Store the tablets out of reach and sight of children, as with all medicines.

This product is a medicine. Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before using if you have an underlying medical condition or are taking other medicines.

 

Recommended Dosage for Adults and Children

You should take one to two tablets at bedtime with a glass of water. The tablets work gradually overnight, typically producing results within 8-12 hours. Start with the lowest effective dose and only increase if necessary after consulting with your pharmacist or doctor.

Children aged 12 years and over can take one tablet at bedtime. Do not give this medicine to children under 12 years of age unless specifically advised by a healthcare professional.

Important Administration Guidelines

You should swallow the tablets whole with plenty of water. Do not crush or chew them, as this may affect how the medicine works in your system. Take the tablets on an empty stomach or at least two hours after your evening meal for optimal effectiveness.

Do not use this medicine for more than one week without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. If your symptoms persist or worsen after taking the tablets for several days, seek medical advice. You should also drink plenty of fluids throughout the day when using any laxative treatment.

Understanding Potential Side Effects

Like all medicines, Senokot Senna tablets can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them. If you have concerns about digestive health or experience persistent symptoms, you may find additional support in our IBS and cramps collection.

The most common side effects are related to the digestive system and typically occur when you first start treatment or if you take more than the recommended dose. These effects usually settle as your body adjusts to the treatment.

Known side effects may include:

  • Abdominal cramps or pain
  • Diarrhoea
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal discomfort
  • Flatulence
  • Electrolyte imbalance with prolonged use
  • Dehydration if diarrhoea occurs
  • Skin rash (rare)
  • Dizziness
  • Fainting
  • Urine discolouration (harmless)

If you experience these or any other side effects, speak to your doctor or pharmacist right away. For more information about reporting side effects please see the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme.
