Product details
Description
Senokot Syrup is a treatment designed for short-term constipation, working overnight to provide effective relief.
If you are experiencing constipation and require fast-acting relief, Senokot Syrup may be the right option for you.
How Senokot Syrup works
Senokot Syrup contains the active ingredient senna, a natural compound derived from the leaves and fruit of the senna plant.
It works by stimulating the muscles in the bowel, helping them to contract and move stools through the digestive system, making them easier to pass.
Directions
Always use Senokot Syrup exactly as stated in the patient information leaflet or as directed by your doctor or Happy Pharmacy pharmacist.
Take 1-2 x 5ml spoonfuls of the syrup at night.
