Clinical
Senna is used on a short-term basis to treat constipation. It also is used to empty the bowels before surgery and certain medical procedures. Senna is in a class of medications called stimulant laxatives. It works by increasing activity of the intestines to cause a bowel movement.
Read the full MedlinePlus article ↗This is an over-the-counter liquid-filled capsule taken by mouth that contains docusate sodium and sennosides. Docusate sodium is a stool softener typically used to make bowel movements easier by adding moisture to stool.
