Important information about Senokot Syrup
The active ingredient in Senokot Syrup is senna, which contains calcium sennosides, including sennoside B. Sennosides are a stimulant laxative that work by drawing water into the gut to promote a bowel movement. This results in faster bowel movements and reduced reabsorption.
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labelling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Senokot Syrup. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Senokot Syrup:
- Take Senokot Syrup by mouth, usually once daily at bedtime, unless otherwise directed.
- For adults and children 12 years old and over, the usual dose is 10 mL at bedtime. For children under 12, contact your healthcare professional, as they will know what an appropriate dose will be.
- Measure the dose carefully using a proper measuring device, not a household spoon. Do not exceed the maximum dose stated on the label or recommended by a healthcare professional.
- Senokot Syrup may be taken with or without food.
- Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, while using this product to help prevent dehydration.
- Do not use for more than one week unless advised by a healthcare professional.
- For children, dosing is based on years of age and should follow label instructions or medical advice.
Some mild or common side effects of Senokot Syrup seen in clinical use as compared to placebo include:
- Abdominal pains or stomach pain.
- Bloating or gas.
- Diarrhoea or loose stools.
- Mild nausea.
Some individuals may experience serious side effects while using Senokot Syrup. These side effects may require immediate medical attention. If you experience any of the following, contact your healthcare provider or seek emergency medical help:
- Severe or persistent abdominal pain.
- Rectal bleeding or blood in stools.
- Severe diarrhoea leading to dehydration.
- Signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
- Unexplained weight loss.
These are not all of the possible side effects of Senokot Syrup. You should always seek medical advice from your healthcare provider for any questions or concerns about your medical condition or treatment. Read all patient information, medication guides, or drug information sheets that come with this medication. You can also report adverse effects to the Food and Drug Administration at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.
Before starting Senokot Syrup, it is crucial to discuss any existing health conditions with your healthcare provider. You should be sure that your healthcare provider is aware of all your medical conditions, including if you have:
- Ongoing or severe abdominal pain of unknown cause.
- A history of rectal bleeding.
- Dehydration or conditions that increase the risk of fluid loss.
- Chronic constipation requires long-term treatment.
- A bowel obstruction or inflammatory bowel condition.
- Senokot Syrup should not be used as a weight loss aid. Long-term or excessive use of stimulant laxatives may lead to dependence or reduced bowel function.
- Intestinal blockage or obstruction.
- Undiagnosed abdominal pain.
- Acute surgical abdominal conditions.
- Known hypersensitivity to senna or any ingredient in the formulation.
Senokot Syrup typically produces a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours. Many people experience overnight relief when taken at bedtime. Response time may vary depending on individual bowel habits and fluid intake.
When Senokot Syrup is taken with other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and supplements, it may change how they work or increase the frequency or severity of side effects. Make sure that you tell your healthcare professional about anything that you are taking to avoid any negative drug interactions, including:
- Other stimulant laxatives, which may increase the risk of diarrhoea and dehydration.
- Supplements that affect fluid or electrolyte balance, which may increase the risk of dehydration when used together.
Senokot Syrup is available as an oral liquid containing 7.5 mg senna per 5 mL. Dosing varies by years of age and is outlined in the product information leaflet.
It should be stored at room temperature, away from the reach of children or pets.

Yes, generic senna syrup products are available. Senokot is a well-known brand name for senna-based laxatives.
You can stop taking Senokot Syrup once normal bowel movements return. If constipation persists after stopping or continues for more than one week, consult a healthcare professional for further medical advice.
Talk to your doctor if you are already pregnant or if you have any plans to become pregnant. They will know or recommend what is best for you. Senokot Syrup is generally intended for short-term relief only and should be used during pregnancy only on medical advice.
Talk to your doctor if you are already breastfeeding or if you have any plans to breastfeed. They will know or recommend what is best for you. Small amounts of senna may pass into breast milk, and a healthcare professional can help determine if this product is appropriate.
