A member asked:
Is it safe to take one laxative tablet (senokot) per week in addition to increasing fibre, drinking lots of water and prune juice, to manage chronic constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do not forget about physical exercise that is critical to maintain proper bowel motility. Infrequent use of Senna should not be a problem.
