Temporary relief of occasional constipation and irregular bowel movements in adults and children (specific age restrictions apply per product labeling).
Contains sennosides (a stimulant laxative) that work by irritating the intestinal lining and stimulating the muscles of the colon, which promotes increased bowel motility and movement.
Should only be used occasionally (not daily) - prolonged use may lead to dependency or electrolyte imbalance. Not recommended for children under 2 years of age. Contraindicated in certain conditions such as intestinal obstruction. Patients should consult a healthcare provider if constipation persists beyond 1 week of use.
