The advice I always give is to use the smallest dose that does the job, rather than jumping straight to the maximum — most people find one tablet at night is enough. If you’re not seeing results after a few days even with an increased dose, that’s the point to come and have a chat with us rather than just taking more.”\u003c\/em\u003e — Anne Harty, Ballyduff Pharmacy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does it take for Senokot to work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenerally between 6 and 12 hours. Taking it at night before bed means most people experience relief the following morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s the right dose to start with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew users should start with the lowest dose — typically one tablet at night — and increase to two only if necessary. The goal is the smallest dose that produces a comfortable, soft-formed motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs Senokot natural?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Senokot is made from powdered senna pods, a plant-based laxative ingredient, standardised to provide a consistent, measured dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I take Senokot every day?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSenokot is intended for short-term, occasional use. If no bowel action has occurred after three days of progressively increased dosage, or if you find you need it daily, it’s worth seeking medical advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it contain lactose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, each tablet contains lactose monohydrate. If you have a lactose intolerance, speak with your pharmacist about alternative options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this help me lose weight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Stimulant laxatives do not aid weight loss. Any temporary change in weight reflects fluid loss, not fat loss, and can lead to dehydration if misused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan elderly people take Senokot?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, but with some caution — elderly patients are at greater risk of dehydration, so it’s worth discussing appropriate use with a pharmacist, particularly for those with kidney problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan children take this?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Senokot Tablets are not suitable for children or adolescents under 18.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSenokot Tablets are a licensed Pharmacy (P) Medicine.
