Senasof Tablet is used to treat constipation. It contains Sennosides or Senna Glycosides (dried leaves of the senna plant), which work by retaining the water inside the intestines and causing easy movement of the intestines. It also irritates and stimulates the intestinal cells and produces contractions in the intestines, which in turn causes an easy bowel movement. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as flatulence (gas), abdominal pain, cramps, nausea, vomiting, and brown discolouration of urine. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and any pre-existing medical conditions.
