What is Senokot S?
Senokot S is a brand-name non-prescription combination laxative to help remedy constipation or irregularity. The active ingredients in Senokot S are senna and docusate. Senna, an herb, is a stimulant or irritant laxative—the active ingredients in senna, called sennosides, chemically irritate the intestines to contract more energetically to move digestive materials and stools through and out more quickly. Senna has a long tradition as a home remedy for constipation. Docusate is a stool softener that works by increasing the water content of stools, which makes them looser, softer, and easier to pass.
Senokot S is taken as one or two tablets a day at bedtime.
What are the side effects of Senokot S?
As a stimulant laxative, Senokot S has more side effects than other laxatives, including stomach cramps, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, weakness, and low potassium. Long-term continual use of senna can cause changes in the electrolyte balance in the blood, which can have potentially serious side effects, such as liver damage. Allergic reactions are very rare, but you should discontinue using Senokot S if you notice allergic reactions, such as skin rash, swelling, or trouble breathing. This is not a complete list of Senokot S side effects. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist about possible side effects before taking this medicine.
