Frequently asked questions
Senokot contains senna, a natural plant-derived stimulant laxative. It works by irritating the lining of the intestinal wall, which stimulates muscle contractions that push stool through the colon. Most people experience a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours of taking a dose.
Senokot is generally recommended for short-term use, typically no more than 1 week, unless your doctor advises otherwise. Long-term daily use of stimulant laxatives can lead to dependence and may affect normal bowel function. Your physician will help determine the appropriate duration for your situation.
The standard adult dose of Senokot is 2 tablets (17.2 mg sennosides) taken once daily at bedtime, which can be increased to twice daily if needed. Your physician will prescribe the dose most appropriate for your symptoms and health history.
Common side effects include abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and nausea. You may also notice a harmless yellow-brown or pink discoloration of the urine. Contact your doctor if you experience severe cramping, rectal bleeding, or if constipation persists beyond one week of treatment.
Senokot should not be used if you have a bowel obstruction, acute abdominal pain of unknown origin, appendicitis, or inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. People who are pregnant or nursing should consult their doctor before using senna products.
Senna can interact with certain heart medications such as digoxin and may increase the risk of low potassium (hypokalemia) when taken with diuretics. It may also affect the absorption of some oral medications. Always share your full medication list with your doctor when requesting Senokot.
