Senokot Senna Tablets for Constipation Relief

 

You can rely on Senokot Senna tablets to provide gentle, overnight relief from constipation. Each tablet contains senna, a natural plant extract that has been used for centuries to treat occasional constipation. These tablets work by stimulating the muscles in your bowel wall, helping to restore regular bowel movements when you need them most.

This pack contains 60 tablets, giving you a convenient supply for managing occasional constipation. The tablets are easy to swallow and work predictably, typically producing results within 8-12 hours of taking them. You can take them in the evening before bed to wake up with natural relief the following morning.

 

How Senna Works in Your Digestive System

 

Senna contains compounds called sennosides that stimulate the nerve endings in your large intestine. This stimulation causes the muscles in your bowel wall to contract more frequently and with greater strength, helping to move waste through your digestive system more effectively.

The active compounds in senna are not absorbed into your bloodstream in significant amounts. Instead, they work locally in your colon, where bacteria break them down into their active form. This targeted action means the laxative effect occurs specifically where it's needed most.

 

Who Should Consider Senna Tablets

 

These tablets are suitable for adults and children over 12 years who experience occasional constipation. You might find them helpful if you haven't had a bowel movement for several days, or if your stools have become hard and difficult to pass. Many people find senna tablets constipation treatment particularly useful during times of stress, travel, or dietary changes.

Senna tablets may be appropriate for you if:

  • You experience infrequent bowel movements (fewer than three per week)
  • Your stools are hard, dry, or difficult to pass
  • You feel incomplete evacuation after bowel movements
  • You need predictable relief that works overnight

If you're managing ongoing digestive health concerns, you might also benefit from exploring our constipation collection for additional treatment options.

 

Natural Plant-Based Constipation Relief

 

Senna comes from the leaves and pods of the Cassia senna plant, which grows naturally in tropical regions. This plant-based origin makes senna tablets a popular choice for people who prefer natural approaches to managing their digestive health. The standardised extract ensures consistent potency and reliable results with each dose.

Unlike some synthetic laxatives, senna has a long history of traditional use and extensive clinical research supporting its effectiveness. The natural compounds work with your body's existing digestive processes rather than forcing unnatural responses.

 

Storage and Shelf Life Information

 

Store your Senokot Senna tablets in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until you're ready to use them, as this protects them from humidity and light exposure that could affect their potency.

Always keep medicines out of reach and sight of children. Check the expiry date before use and do not take tablets that have passed their expiry date. If stored correctly, these tablets will maintain their effectiveness until the date printed on the packaging.

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

Adults and children over 12 years should take one to two tablets at bedtime with a glass of water. Start with the lowest effective dose and only increase if necessary. Children aged 6-12 years should take half to one tablet at bedtime. Do not give to children under 6 years unless specifically advised by a doctor.

Take the tablets with plenty of water to help them work effectively and to prevent any potential throat irritation. Swallow the tablets whole - do not chew, crush, or break them before swallowing.

When and How to Take Your Tablets

Take your senna tablets in the evening, preferably at bedtime, as they typically work within 8-12 hours. This timing allows the tablets to work overnight, producing results the following morning. You can take them with or without food, but always ensure you drink adequate fluids throughout the day.

Do not take senna tablets for more than one week without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. If you do not experience relief after three days of use, or if your symptoms worsen, seek medical advice. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as this may cause cramping or diarrhoea.

Understanding Potential Side Effects

Possible side effects may include:

  • Abdominal cramping or discomfort
  • Loose stools or diarrhoea
  • Nausea or stomach upset
  • Flatulence or bloating
  • Dehydration if diarrhoea occurs
  • Electrolyte imbalance with prolonged use
  • Dependency if used long-term
  • Discoloured urine (harmless brown or yellow tint)
  • Allergic reactions in sensitive individuals
  • Reduced effectiveness of other medications

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.
