Senokot Max Strength Senna Laxative - 48 Tablets

Senokot® Max Strength Senna Laxative Tablets provide strong, short-term relief from occasional constipation for adults who require a more powerful laxative option.

Each tablet contains a higher-strength dose of natural senna (sennosides), a plant-derived stimulant laxative that works by stimulating the muscles of the bowel to help restore normal bowel movement. Senokot® Max Strength is particularly suitable when standard laxatives have not been effective or when constipation is caused by sluggish bowel activity, such as after illness, reduced mobility, dietary changes or short-term lifestyle disruption.

When taken at bedtime, Senokot® Max Strength is designed to work overnight, typically producing a bowel movement within 8–12 hours. This 48-tablet pack is suitable for adults who may require repeat short courses, while remaining intended for occasional use only.
