Senokot Natural
Senokot Natural

Please help me to find some medicine?
My best friend suffers from constipation. She had benn taking Senokot, but a pharmacist told her it was taken away from the market because they found it had something dangerous. He recommended her Senna, but doesn't help (Metamucil doesn't help either). Can you give me any good suggestions of what to take (like a natural laxative that doesn't harm her)?
Senna IS sennakot....
And it IS physically addicting....
You need to ask a different pharmacist for advice...
Tell her to try colace or dulcolax (stool softeners)
Little known fact but the active ingredient is totally natural and harmless - which is why so many obstetricians suggest it to pregnant women.
Typically, if metamucil doesnt help, you have a problem with transit time in the instestinal tract - tell her to try probiotics and a magnesium supplement...
If all else fails, miralax is the "least evil" of the drug store laxatives. It adds water to the bowels, but is safer than epsom salts - which tends to deplete the body of electrolytes over time.
