🩺 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 ↗Senna-S is an over-the-counter oral tablet containing two active ingredients commonly used together to support bowel regularity. Sennosides, a plant-based compound, function as a stimulant laxative that typically works by promoting intestinal muscle contractions. Docusate sodium is a stool softener that is commonly used to make stools easier to pass. This combination product is marketed under the FDA's OTC monograph rules for laxative products.
