Frequently asked questions

How long does Senokot take to work?

Senokot usually works within 8 to 12 hours, which is why it is often taken at bedtime to produce a result the next morning. If constipation continues, speak to your pharmacist or GP.

Why do you take Senokot at night?

Because it takes 8 to 12 hours to work, taking Senokot at bedtime means it tends to work overnight for a bowel movement in the morning. This fits the natural rhythm for most people.

Can you take Senokot in the morning?

You can, but as it takes 8 to 12 hours to work you would expect a result later in the day or evening. Many people prefer taking it at night for a morning effect.

How does Senokot work?

Senokot contains senna, a stimulant laxative that gently stimulates the muscles of the bowel to move, helping to relieve constipation. It works with your body's natural rhythm rather than instantly.

Is it safe to take Senokot every day?

Senokot is intended for the short-term relief of constipation, not long-term daily use. If you need a laxative regularly, see your GP to find the underlying cause rather than taking it every day.

What is Senokot?

Senokot is a laxative brand based on senna, used for the short-term relief of constipation. It comes as tablets, syrup and Max Strength tablets.

How many Senokot Max Strength can you take?

Follow the pack, as the dose for Max Strength differs from standard Senokot, and do not exceed the stated amount. If you are unsure, ask your pharmacist.
