Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Senokot-S is medication that combines Sennosides and Docusate Sodium to manage occasional constipation. Sennosides are a type of laxative that works by stimulating the bowel, encouraging it to move and produce a bowel movement. Docusate sodium is a stool softener that makes stools easier to pass. Together, these ingredients usually help people have a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours after taking the medication. Senokot-S may be helpful for people who are experiencing constipation due to different reasons, such as poor diet, side effects from other medications, or certain health conditions.

Senokot-S tablets are taken orally, typically at bedtime, to support the body's natural processes. The standard Senokot-S dosage for adults and children over the age of 12 is generally 2 tablets once daily, ideally accompanied by a glass of water. For children aged 6 to 12, the recommended dosage is usually 1 tablet once daily. It is advisable to consult a healthcare provider for personalized guidance. If constipation persists after several days of use or if there is a sudden change in bowel habits lasting more than 2 weeks, it is important to seek advice from a healthcare professional.
The active ingredients in Senokot-S are Sennosides and Docusate Sodium.
Avoid taking or using this medication if any of the following apply:
Senokot-S may lead to some mild common side effects that often don't need medical attention. Individuals might experience gas, bloating, and diarrhea. In addition, it's not uncommon for people to have some abdominal discomfort or cramping when taking this medication. If Senokot-S side effects persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider.
There are serious side effects associated with Senokot-S that may warrant immediate medical care. Signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat need urgent attention. Also, if you notice rectal bleeding, severe stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, or a lack of bowel movement, stop using the medication and contact a doctor promptly. These symptoms could indicate a more severe condition.
