    Senokot Syrup 12 Years Plus Constipation Relief, 500ml

    Senokot Syrup 12 Years Plus Constipation Relief gives relief of occasional, short-term or non-persistent constipation. Perfect to take while you sleep as it works in 8-12 hours.

    Senokot Syrup is a treatment for short-term constipation which works overnight to relieve constipation. If you’re struggling with constipation and looking for relief that will get to work fast, Senokot Syrup could be the solution for you.

    Senokot Syrup 12 Years Plus Constipation Relief contains the active ingredient Senna, a natural ingredient that comes from the leaves and fruit of the senna plant.  This natural substance helps to relieve constipation by encouraging the muscles in your bowel to contract, moving stools through your body, and helping you to pass them more easily.

    Senokot Syrup is a reliable and effective laxative made with calcium sennosides (senna). Sennosides work by making bowel muscles contract more often and with more force. This increased muscle action moves bowel contents to the rectum to be emptied and relieves constipation. A 5ml spoonful of Senokot Syrup contains calcium sennosides equivalent to 7.5mg total sennosides (calculated as sennosides B) in a fruit flavoured base. When taken at night it can bring gentle, natural relief from constipation.

    What is Constipation?

    Constipation is common and it affects people of all ages. You can usually treat it at home with simple changes to your diet and lifestyle.

    This page is about constipation in adults. There’s separate information on constipation in babies and children.

    It’s likely to be constipation if:

    • you have not had a poo at least 3 times during the last week
    • the poo is often large and dry, hard or lumpy
    • you are straining or in pain when you have a poo

    You may also have a stomach ache and feel bloated or sick.

    If you’re caring for someone with dementia, constipation may be easily missed. It’s important to be aware of any changes in their behaviour that might mean they are in pain or discomfort, although it’s not always easy.

    Causes of Constipation

    Constipation in adults has many possible causes. Sometimes there’s no obvious reason.

    The most common causes include:

    • not eating enough fibre – such as fruit, vegetables and cereals
    • not drinking enough fluids
    • not moving enough and spending long periods sitting or lying in bed
    • being less active and not exercising
    • often ignoring the urge to go to the toilet
    • changing your diet or daily routine
    • a side effect of medicine
    • stress, anxiety or depression

    Constipation is also common during pregnancy and for 6 weeks after giving birth.

    Rarely, constipation may be caused by a medical condition.

    Making simple changes to your diet and lifestyle can help treat constipation.

    It’s safe to try these simple measures when you’re pregnant.

    You may notice a difference within a few days. Sometimes it takes a few weeks before your symptoms improve.
