Drug Details
This medication is designed to relieve constipation and includes two active ingredients: sennosides and docusate. Sennosides function as stimulant laxatives by retaining water in the intestines, promoting intestinal movement. Docusate acts as a stool softener by enhancing water content in the stool, which makes it softer and easier to pass.
