Senokot uses
This combination product contains two medications: senna and docusate sodium. Senna belongs to the class of medications called stimulant laxatives. Docusate sodium belongs to the family of medications known as stool softeners. Senna works by increasing the muscle activity in the digestive system, causing waste material to be eliminated as stool. Docusate sodium works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making stools softer and easier to pass.
This combination medication is used to treat occasional constipation due to hard stools. Specifically, it is recommended for women who have recently given birth; people for whom hard, dry stools should be avoided (e.g., people with hemorrhoids or anal fissures); and people for whom stool straining should be avoided (e.g., people with heart disease). This combination usually produces a stool between 6 and 12 hours after taking the medication.
