Senokot Tablets 100

Senokot is a laxative made with naturally derived senna. The senna is treated to yield a constant amount of active ingredient in each dose, which is what makes the effect a predictable one, and the tablets are for relief from occasional or non-persistent constipation rather than for long-term use.
