Expired medication: Did the senokot (senna) go out of date in November 2014? If so, please be reassured you will not be in harm. Best to properly rid your medicine cabinet of out of date medications, particularly the prescription medications. Senokot (senna) is usually over the counter, stool softener, with low risk profile. Be well.
