Senokot tablets offer gentle effective constipation relief. It is a reliable, effective laxative made with natural senna treated to give predictable relief from occasional or non-persistent constipation. The active ingredient in Senokot is the extract of the senna plant. The senna plant has been used as a laxative for many years, and has proven to be safe. The bowel works by pushing stools down using a wave-like motion known as peristalsis. The senna in Senokot gently stimulates the bowel, thus pushing stools down faster. This is a reliable way of relieving constipation.
