Natural Active Origin: Derived from natural plant-based Senna Fruit (Cassia senna / Cassia angustifolia) pods. Extended Value Sizing: Offered in 24-tablet and 48-tablet blister packs for reliable home medicine cabinet availability. Mechanism of Action & Colonic Peristalsis: Senokot Max Strength 12 Years Plus operates through targeted metabolic cleaving and myenteric plexus activation: Microbial Activation of Sennosides: The inactive sennoside glycosides pass unabsorbed through the stomach and upper gastrointestinal tract until reaching the large intestine. Colonic microflora break down the glycosides into the pharmacologically active compound Rhein-anthrone. Neuromuscular Colonic Stimulation: Rhein-anthrone directly acts on the myenteric plexus (Auerbach's plexus) embedded within the intestinal muscular wall. This triggers rhythmic, propulsive contractions (peristalsis) across the colon while reducing electrolyte and water absorption from the gut, resulting in a smooth, easily passed stool Ingredients: Active Ingredient (per tablet): Standardized Senna Fruit (Pods) extract equivalent to 15mg Sennosides (calculated as Sennoside B). Tablet Excipients: Calcium Phosphate, Maize Starch, Lactose Monohydrate, Magnesium Stearate, Colloidal Anhydrous Silica. How to Use: Target Users: Suitable for adults, the elderly, and adolescents aged 12 years and over. Dosage & Administration: Swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew. Adults and Children Aged 12 Years and Over: Take 1 tablet daily, preferably at bedtime. Maximum Daily Dose: Do not exceed 1 tablet in a 24-hour period. Duration of Treatment: Use for a maximum of 1 to 2 weeks. If symptoms persist for more than 3 days, or if laxatives are required daily, consult a medical practitioner.
