Senna 7.5mg Tablet

Senna 7.5mg Tablet, sold by DoctorOnCall Malaysia, is an oral tablet formulated with Sennosides 7.5mg as its active ingredient, derived from the leaf of the senna plant. Sennosides belong to the anthraquinone group of stimulant laxative compounds and are one of the most established plant-derived ingredients used in short-term over-the-counter tablets across Malaysia and Singapore.

Each tablet is manufactured to a standardised 7.5mg strength and is supplied in a compact pack of 10 tablets, making it convenient to carry or keep at home for occasional use. Senna 7.5mg Tablet is a single-ingredient formulation—it does not contain paracetamol, antispasmodics, or stool softeners such as docusate—so customers who want a combination product should check the label carefully, as this tablet is intended to be taken on its own.

As a plant-derived stimulant laxative tablet, Senna 7.5mg Tablet is positioned by DoctorOnCall as a short-term, occasional-use OTC product rather than one intended for continuous daily use, and the dosing guidance in this listing reflects that short-term positioning. Customers who find themselves buying this product repeatedly over several weeks are encouraged to speak with a doctor or pharmacist about their situation rather than continuing to self-purchase.

Senna 7.5mg Tablet is taken by mouth with a full glass of water. Swallow the tablet whole; it is not designed to be chewed or crushed. It is commonly taken once daily at bedtime, since the tablet typically takes around 6 to 12 hours to take effect, meaning a dose taken at night generally produces its effect the following morning.

This tablet is intended for short-term, occasional use only—do not take it for longer than 7 consecutive days unless a doctor has specifically advised a longer course. If a dose is missed, take it when remembered unless it is close to the next scheduled dose, in which case skip the missed dose; do not double up.

The usual adult dose of Senna 7.5mg Tablet is 1 to 2 tablets taken once daily, generally at bedtime, or as directed by a doctor or pharmacist. Start with the lower dose and only increase if needed, without exceeding the maximum stated on the packaging.

This product is not intended for children unless a doctor has specifically recommended it and given an appropriate dose. Elderly customers, and anyone with kidney or heart problems, should use the lowest effective dose and check with a pharmacist before regular use, since stimulant laxatives can affect fluid and electrolyte balance with prolonged or excessive use.

Use Senna 7.5mg Tablet before the expiry date printed on the blister strip and carton. Do not use tablets from a pack that is past its expiry date or where the blister foil has been damaged or exposed to moisture.

Store Senna 7.5mg Tablet at room temperature, below 30°C, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and away from humid areas such as bathrooms. Keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until ready to use, and keep the pack well out of reach and sight of children.

• Senna 7.5mg Tablet may lower blood potassium levels with prolonged or excessive use, which can increase the risk of toxicity in people taking digoxin or other heart medicines—check with a doctor or pharmacist if this applies.
• Combining this tablet with diuretic (“water”) tablets or corticosteroids may add to the risk of low potassium levels, so medical advice should be sought before regular combined use.
• No specific food interaction has been established, although taking the tablet with a full glass of water and maintaining normal fluid intake supports its intended effect.

• Take the tablet at night so it works by the following morning, rather than during the day.
• Drink plenty of plain water throughout the day while using this tablet.
• Start with the lowest recommended dose and only increase if genuinely needed.
• Keep track of how many days in a row you’ve used the tablet—stop at 7 days unless a doctor advises otherwise.

• Keep the tablets out of reach of children at all times.

Precautions: Senna 7.5mg Tablet is intended for short-term, occasional use only. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, anyone with kidney or heart conditions, and anyone taking regular prescription medicines should check with a doctor or pharmacist before use. Prolonged or excessive use of stimulant laxatives can lead to dependence and electrolyte disturbances, so the lowest effective dose for the shortest necessary time is recommended.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Stop using this product and seek medical advice if there is no improvement after a few days of correct use, if severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or rectal bleeding occurs, or if you find yourself needing this product regularly for more than a week at a time. Seek urgent care for signs of dehydration or an allergic reaction.
