Senokot Tablets

Senokot is a reliably effective laxative made with natural senna treated especially to yield a constant amount of active ingredient in each dose, to give predictable constipation relief.

Directions for use:

Adults and children over 12: Take 2-4 tablets at night.

Children over 6: Take 1-2 tablets in the morning.

Children 6 and under: Not recommended.

New users should start with the lowest dose and increase if necessary by one half of initial dose each day. Once regularity has been regained doses should be reduced and can usually be stopped.

Senokot usually acts within 8-12 hours. Dose can be repeated on a daily basis until bowel action is restored, but if there is no bowel movement within three days of use, consult your doctor.

Ingredients:

Each tablet contains standardised senna equivalent to 7.5mg total sennosides in a base containing lactose, calcium phosphate, maize starch and magnesium stearate.

If laxatives are needed every day, or if abdominal pain persists, please consult your doctor.
