Senokot Syrup 12 Years Plus Constipation Relief, 500ml
Senokot Syrup 12 Years Plus Constipation Relief gives relief of occasional, short-term or non-persistent constipation. Perfect to take while you sleep as it works in 8-12 hours.
Senokot Syrup is a treatment for short-term constipation which works overnight to relieve constipation. If you’re struggling with constipation and looking for relief that will get to work fast, Senokot Syrup could be the solution for you.
Senokot Syrup 12 Years Plus Constipation Relief contains the active ingredient Senna, a natural ingredient that comes from the leaves and fruit of the senna plant. This natural substance helps to relieve constipation by encouraging the muscles in your bowel to contract, moving stools through your body, and helping you to pass them more easily.
Senokot Syrup is a reliable and effective laxative made with calcium sennosides (senna). Sennosides work by making bowel muscles contract more often and with more force. This increased muscle action moves bowel contents to the rectum to be emptied and relieves constipation. A 5ml spoonful of Senokot Syrup contains calcium sennosides equivalent to 7.5mg total sennosides (calculated as sennosides B) in a fruit flavoured base. When taken at night it can bring gentle, natural relief from constipation.
