Senna Lax 30 Tablets

Senna Lax 30 Tablets

Description:

Senna Lax 30 Tablets is an over-the-counter laxative medicine formulated to provide effective short-term relief from constipation. It contains calcium sennoside, a natural stimulant laxative derived from senna (Cassia angustifolia), which increases bowel movements and promotes evacuation of the intestines. Senna Lax is commonly used to treat occasional constipation and to help clear the bowel before certain medical or rectal examinations. It is intended for adult and adolescent use under medical or pharmacist guidance and should be used for a limited duration only.

Indications:

• Short-term treatment of occasional constipation.
• Relief of hard, infrequent, or difficult bowel movements.
• Facilitating bowel evacuation before rectal or bowel examinations, as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Support in restoring regular bowel function when temporary constipation occurs due to changes in diet, travel, or reduced physical activity.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Calcium sennoside – exact strength per tablet is not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).
• Sennosides are a natural complex of anthraquinone glycosides isolated from senna (Cassia angustifolia) and act as stimulant laxatives on the colon.
• Excipients (inactive ingredients) are not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration.
• Adults and adolescents: Typically taken once daily, preferably at bedtime, with a full glass of water, so that bowel movement occurs the following morning. Follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s specific instructions and the product leaflet.
• Swallow tablets whole with water; do not crush or chew unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• May be taken with or without food; taking at the same time each day helps establish a routine.
• Do not use for more than 7 consecutive days unless directed by a doctor to avoid dependence or worsening constipation.
• Not recommended for children unless specifically prescribed by a pediatrician.
• If you miss a dose and are using it regularly, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next dose. Do not double the dose.

Clinical Benefits:
