I have had trouble with constipation all of my life, I'm 54. And this is the first medication that has worked for me. It doesn't cramp unless I take too much, so I've had to figure out how much is just right. I would highly recommend it to anyone with irritable bowel disease or constipation.

Take it at night before going to bed, by morning I can go to the toilet with no problems. Sometimes I get minimal cramps and a little weakness, but it passes in few minutes. Highly recommended. The only one that works with no side-effects.

I am a male in my early 80's. Over the years I have had bouts with constipation. About 6 years ago , after trying many drugs I started using senna and have been well satisfied. I take 2 8mg pills twice a day and have 2 or 3 good bowel movements every morning. My stools tend to be loose and movements are very easy.

I suffered from chronic constipation. Senna is the best natural laxative I have tried. Works overnight easily. No harsh smell.

I have been taking Senna Leaf powder or Senna Leaf powder with Docusate Sodium tablets as a laxative for approximately 30 years. Each tablet contains 5mg of Senna and 50mg of Docusate Sodium. My usual dosage is three tablets every second day. Primarily I am using this medication to treat constipation caused by a large Colon. So far I have not had any side effects and dosage has remained fairly consistent. Hope this may help others who may be worried on the long term effects of taking Senna extracts.Read More Read Less

i am always constipated. i have been for many years. fruit used to work, vegatables used to work. fiber pills and fiber stuff don't work. i exercise. nothing works. i haven't talked to my doctor about using senna, but when i go to doctor i always write it down in the appropriate space that asked for medication. doctors haven't commented about. they know all the medications i take. all the prescribed and non prescribed. senna works, i have been taking it for about 2 years on a daily basis. i had to experiment to find the correct dose. but it works. its the only thing that works other than milk of mag. that i hate. yukRead More Read Less

I am a throat cancer patient and must consume all food water meds through a G-tube. Use this periodically if I have gone more than 2 days w/o relief. Takes 24 to 48 hours to really kick in but does so gradually and gently w/ no side eddects.

Senna has worked very well for me. Really no side effects. But it seems I can't get it anymore and am disappointed inn that.

I am a kidney transplant patient currently going through rejection. One of my medicines that I need to take with meals gives me occasional constipation. My doctor had recommended this to me because of how effective it was, and was told to take it as needed. After using it for more than 2 weeks, I started to receive severe stomach cramping, to the point where I wouldn't want to it. 3 weeks after I stopped taking this, the cramps are still here, but not as severe.
