Product Information
Senokot Syrup is an effective laxative made with Senna Fruit, a natural plant extract which works by stimulating the muscles in the bowel. Clinically proven medicine for short-term, occasional constipation. Laxatives do not affect the number of calories absorbed from food. This means they do not help with weight management. Always read the label.
