Senokot contains Sennosides, a natural laxative derived from the pods and leaves of the Senna plant (Cassia angustifolia). It works as a "stimulant" laxative by interacting with the bacteria in the large intestine to release active compounds that irritate the lining of the bowel. This irritation triggers rhythmic contractions (peristalsis) and encourages the accumulation of water and electrolytes in the intestine, effectively softening the stool and promoting a comfortable bowel movement.
In Nigeria, Senokot 7.5mg is a trusted household and clinical choice for managing irregular digestion. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability tablets manufactured under strict international standards (Reckitt) and stored in a cool, dry environment to maintain the botanical potency of the sennosides.
Important: This is a short-term treatment for occasional constipation. It should not be used for more than 7 consecutive days without medical advice. Overuse can lead to "lazy bowel" syndrome, where the intestines become dependent on the laxative to function. Strictly Contraindicated: Do not use if you have severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or a known bowel obstruction (blockage). Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before use.
Senokot 7.5mg Tablets are primarily used to:
Provide predictable relief from occasional constipation, typically within 8 to 12 hours
Restore regularity after travel, dietary changes, or minor illness
Soften hard stools by increasing fluid secretion in the large intestine
Act as a gentle yet effective botanical alternative to harsh chemical laxatives
Provide a standardized dose of sennosides (7.5mg per tablet) for consistent results
This product is suitable for:
Adults and children over 12 years of age experiencing difficulty passing stools
Individuals requiring a predictable overnight solution for morning relief
Patients whose constipation is related to lifestyle factors or low-fiber intake
Not recommended for: Children under 12 years (unless directed by a doctor). It is strictly contraindicated for individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis. Avoid use if you have undiagnosed stomach pain or are suffering from severe dehydration.
For Adults and Children over 12: Take two tablets at bedtime
Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water or a cool drink
Senokot usually takes 8 to 12 hours to work, which is why taking it at night is ideal for a morning bowel movement
Do not exceed the recommended dose; if two tablets do not produce a result, consult our pharmacist before increasing the dose
Ensure you drink plenty of water (at least 6–8 glasses a day) while using laxatives to prevent dehydration and support stool softening
Senokot is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience:
Mild abdominal cramping or "griping" (very common as the bowel begins to move)
Diarrhea (if the dose is too high)
Temporary discoloration of urine (it may turn a harmless yellowish-brown or reddish-pink color)
Rare: Nausea or skin rash in sensitive individuals
Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience severe persistent diarrhea, intense stomach pain, or if you do not have a bowel movement after using the product for two days.

Can I take Senokot every day to stay regular?
No. Senokot is a stimulant laxative intended for short-term use only. Using it every day can damage the nerves in your colon and make your constipation worse in the long run. If you need help every day, talk to our pharmacist about fiber supplements or stool softeners.
Why did my urine change color?
Don't be alarmed! The natural pigments in Senna can sometimes tint your urine a darker yellow, brown, or even pinkish color. This is completely harmless and will go away once you stop taking the tablets.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
While Senna is a natural herb, pregnant women should always consult their doctor before taking any stimulant laxative, as it can sometimes cause uterine stimulation.
