Senokot Max Strength 10 Tablets offer fast, gentle relief from sudden constipation. Made with natural senna, the formula supports bowel rhythm and helps restore ease overnight. Many adults turn to this when milder steps don't help. It starts to work in 8–12 hours, so mornings feel lighter. Though it works well short-term, it's not made for daily or long-term use. This option is for adults only—anyone pregnant or nursing should speak to a doctor first.

Key Features:

• Natural plant-based action: Made with senna, which helps the bowel move more smoothly.
• Overnight ease: Takes 8 to 12 hours, so you feel lighter by morning.
• Once-a-day simplicity: Just one tablet before bed helps support regular flow.
• Reliable, consistent dosing: Every tablet holds a steady dose for trusted use.
• Short-term use: Best for rare issues—lets your body reset without delay.

Will Senokot Max Strength help me lose weight?

No. These tablets do not help with weight loss. They only work to ease short-term blockage and don’t stop calories from being absorbed. Overuse may hurt more than help.

What should I avoid while using Senokot Max Strength?

Try not to take it with other laxatives unless a doctor says so. Also, avoid use if your tummy hurts, you feel sick, or haven’t passed wind.

How should I store Senokot Max Strength?

Keep it cool and dry, out of reach of kids.
