How Senokot-S Relieves Constipation
Understanding Occasional Constipation
Occasional constipation is a common condition characterized by infrequent bowel movements or difficulty passing stools. It often stems from factors like dietary changes, travel, or certain medications. These factors can disrupt the regular process of digestion, leading to discomfort and a feeling of fullness. Addressing occasional constipation involves understanding its causes and seeking gentle, effective relief to restore comfort and promote healthy bowel function.

- Medication use
How Senokot-S Works
Senokot-S is a dual-action formula designed to provide relief from occasional constipation. It combines the natural laxative properties of senna with the stool-softening effects of docusate sodium. Senna works by stimulating the muscles of the colon, promoting bowel movements. Docusate sodium helps to soften the stool by drawing water into the colon, making it easier to pass. This combination offers a comprehensive approach to relieve constipation, addressing both the frequency and ease of bowel movements.
