Senokot 7.5mg Adult Tablets: Natural Relief from Constipation
Senokot 7.5mg Adult Tablets are a trusted, plant-based stimulant laxative designed to provide short-term relief from occasional constipation. Formulated with standardized senna fruit, these tablets offer a gentle way to restore regularity and ease discomfort.
How Senokot Works
The active ingredient in Senokot is senna, a natural laxative derived from the pods and leaves of the senna plant. It works by stimulating the muscles in your large intestine to encourage bowel movement. Sennosides (specifically Sennoside B) also help the bowel retain water, making stools easier to pass.
