Temporary relief of occasional constipation and irregularity. It is not intended for regular daily use or for treating chronic constipation conditions.

Contains senna glycosides (sennosides) that stimulate the muscles in the colon and rectum, accelerating the passage of stool through the intestines.

Should only be used for short periods (typically no more than 7 days). Not recommended for children under 6 years old, during pregnancy, or while breastfeeding without medical advice. May cause abdominal cramping or diarrhea. Consult a healthcare provider if constipation persists beyond 7 days or if you experience sudden changes in bowel habits.
