It mixes in chocolate milk...it also comes in tablets, worth taking time to train howTo swallow pills and tablets too!

Senna also comes in chocolate squares that you can make chocolate chip cookies with. Best wishes!

Can they take then get a drink afterwards or can it be mixed in a drink? Some liquids can. The movical tastes awful but i bought some dulcalax she'll just take that and a drink straight afterwards.

Is it a bitter taste? Apparently a salty snack after a bitter taste is better than a sweet snack at taking the taste away.
