Product Overview
Senokot Max Strength tablets are stimulant laxatives that can help to relieve your constipation.
Description
Senokot® Max Strength Senna Laxative – 10 Tablets provides strong, short-term relief from occasional constipation for adults who require a higher-strength laxative option.
Each tablet contains a maximum-strength dose of natural senna (sennosides), a plant-derived stimulant laxative that works by stimulating the muscles of the bowel. This encourages natural bowel movement and helps relieve constipation caused by sluggish bowel activity, such as after illness, reduced mobility, dietary changes, travel or short-term lifestyle disruption.
When taken at bedtime, Senokot® Max Strength is designed to work overnight, usually producing a bowel movement within 8–12 hours. The 10-tablet pack is ideal for short courses of treatment or occasional use.
