All Senokot products contain the ingredient called Senna. Senna is an herb that is used to treat constipation. It’s also taken to empty the bowels before certain medical procedures or surgeries.

Senokot and the active ingredient Senna can be bought over-the-counter. Senna is sold under different brand names, including Senokot. My Pharmacy currently stocks other Senokot products including:

• Senokot Max Strength Tablets

Senokot Syrup contains Senna/Sennosides which work as a stimulant laxative for the short-term relief of occasional constipation. Senokot Syrup also contains calcium sennosides. Constipation is a fairly common and uncomfortable complaint. It usually involves difficult or irregular bowel movements, accompanied by hard, dry motions which can be painful to pass. Laxatives such as Senokot syrup do not help with weight loss.

Senokot Syrup does not reduce the absorption of calories or nutrients. It can cause watery stools (diarrhoea), abdominal cramps and dehydration. Dehydration can seem like weight loss because the skin becomes thinner the more dehydrated you get. Overuse of laxatives can damage a person’s health by:

• Causing disturbances of electrolyte and mineral balances.

• Severe dehydration

• Laxative dependency

You may need to use Senokot Liquid for constipation if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

• You haven’t had a poo at least 3 times during the last week
• The stool is often large and dry, hard or lumpy
• Having to strain or experience pain when trying to pass the stool

Constipation is extremely common and affects people at all stages of life. It can usually be cured at home using medication such as Senokot Liquid for constipation, or changes to diet and lifestyle.

Some of the most common causes of constipation include:

• Not getting enough fibre from your diet
• Not drinking enough fluids
• Long periods of sitting or lying in bed
• Being less active and not exercising
• A side effect of medication
• Stress, anxiety or depression

• Senokot 12 years is a 150ml bottle, enough for numerous doses and uses.

• One 10ml spoonful contains 14mg Standardised Senna.

• Relief of occasional or non-persistent constipation.

• Great for those who do not like swallowing tablets.

• Suitable for both adults and children over the age of 12 years.

Before Senokot 12 Years is used, tell your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if:

• You suffer from kidney disorders

• You are taking medicines for a heart condition, medicines inducing QT elongation, diuretics, adrenocorticosteroids or liquorice root preparations.

• Are under 12 years old.

In order to take Senokot correctly, you should follow the correct Senokot Dosage given to you by your doctor or as written in the patient information leaflet.

New users should start with the lowest Senokot Dosage and increase it to the maximum dose for each age group, if necessary, by one half of the initial dose each day. Once regularity has been regained the dosage should be reduced and can usually be stopped. One or two 5 ml spoonful’s at night, unless otherwise advised by a medical practitioner.

Normally it is sufficient to take Senokot Syrup up to two to three times a week. Not to be used for more than one week. Tell a doctor or pharmacist if:

• The symptoms worsen or persist during the use of Senokot Syrup.

• There is no bowel movement within 3 days of a Senokot dosage.

• You need to take laxatives every day or if abdominal pain persists.

If you have taken too much Senokot Syrup or have taken it for too long, it may cause harmful effects. Some of these harmful effects include:

• A lazy bowel, where the muscle in the bowel becomes too relaxed. This means that bowel emptying happens less often. This can lead to long term constipation.

• Imbalance of fluids and salts in the body. This can affect the tightness of the muscles such as those in the bowel. It can also affect the salts in the blood.

• Low levels of potassium in the blood. This can make you tired, dizzy, make your muscles weak and cause an uneven heart-beat.

• Dehydration, making you feel thirsty, feel faint and giving you headaches. It can also mean that you cannot pass enough urine.

The active ingredients in Senokot Liquid are called Sennosides. Sennosides are known as stimulant laxatives and they work by keeping water in the intestines. By doing so it helps the intestines move along the hardened stools.
