How Does Ex-lax Gentle Overnight Laxative Work?
Active Ingredient
The active ingredient in Ex-lax Gentle Overnight Laxative is sennosides, a natural stimulant derived from the senna plant. Sennosides work by increasing the movement of the intestines, which helps to move stool through the bowels.
Mechanism of Action
Sennosides stimulate the muscles in the intestines, promoting peristalsis – the wave-like contractions that move food through your digestive tract. This process helps to soften stool and ease bowel movements. The gentle stimulation of sennosides helps to facilitate this natural process, providing relief from constipation.
How to Use Ex-lax Gentle Overnight Laxative
Dosage Instructions

Important Considerations
- Timing: Take the dose at bedtime to allow for overnight relief.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help soften stools and enhance the effectiveness of the laxative.
- Diet: Maintain a balanced diet with fiber-rich foods to support regular bowel movements. For example, incorporate high-fiber foods like apples, oatmeal, and lentils into your daily diet.
