Prolonged use of senna (senokot)
In March he began a programme of a daily
senokot
dose to shrink his 'baggy' bowel. This worked well for a while but the last couple of months it's stopped working and I feel his constipation has actually got worse. Could this be due to the prolonged use of the senna?

Maintenance dose of senokot and movicol
We have continued on 4 sachets of movicol as a maintenance dose and remain on
senokot
. We didn't see much of a result with the disimpaction until we increased the
senokot
to 15ml. I've just been looking at my diary and the medicine bottle and realise he has now been on 15ml daily for 6 weeks!

IBS Constipation Success
I had tried everything, Milk Magnesia, Syrup of Figs, Metamucil, Physilian Husks,
Senokot
etc which was either too much or not enough. Hope if anyone tries this method it works for them as well it has worked for me. No more stress on bowel movements.

Maintenance dose
We are coming to the end of our second disimpaction, this time with the help of
senokot
. We're currently at 4 sachets and 15ml
senokot
. The first time we disimpacted, we ended on 4 sachets. We've never had a solid poo and I'm not really expecting one to be honest.

Advice for IBS C
Prescribed one
Senokot
a day by Consultant, but this does not keep me regular. Have tried Milk of Magnesia and Syrup of Figs. Also Metamucil, but have found I get severe stomach cramps with this drink. Any suggestions to anything on the market which might make me more regular?

Alendronic acid, Hydroxychloroquine and Prednisolone
Food passing through my stomach too quick and my usual habit of two to three visits to the loo helped by
senokot
a week suddenly changed to two to three times a day. Sciatica has returned in my left leg and so violent I've been unsure on my feet. Three weeks on today, I had another appointment.

3 year old withholding
We’re attempting to manage the situation with laxido and
senokot
to get his bowels moving once a day. However, even on the medication he manages to withhold his poo for up to 2 days and it appears to make him lethargic and extremely irritable.

Lactulose and Senokot HELP
My son has been on Lactulose and
senokot
for 2 weeks. Originally he was on 10mls 2 times a day of the lactulose and then 5ml of the
senokot
once in the evenings. This made no change so I rang the pedestrian and she told me to start increasing the
senokot
until we get to 20ml and ring back.

Into TRITON II - and awaaay we go!
However I do NOT want a repeat and have been taking
senokot
and prune juice ever since. And my primary care (who is really great) has given me a scenario for if things go wrong in the future. So I feel good.
