This combination works by increasing the water content in hard, dry stools while gently encouraging intestinal movement, typically resulting in a bowel movement within 6 to 12 hours. This 1000-count bulk bottle offers exceptional value for long-term management or household supply.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Senna-Plus and a regular stool softener?
Senna-Plus is a dual-action product. While a regular stool softener only makes stool easier to pass, Senna-Plus adds a gentle stimulant (Sennosides) that encourages the bowels to move, providing more effective relief for those experiencing actual blockage or irregularity.
Is this bottle the same as Senokot-S®?
Yes, it contains the same active ingredients in the same strengths as the national brand, providing the same clinical performance at a much lower price point.
How should I store this bulk bottle?
Store at a controlled room temperature of 20°–25°C (68°–77°F). Protect from excessive heat and moisture to ensure the tablets remain fresh and effective.
