Hi guys,
a few days ago i asked a friend of mine in South Africa to help me by Senokot tablets - a laxative i take for bowel programme, to soften stool.But she sent a reply that they @ the pharmacists told her that Senna products are being phased out.Any one heard anything like this?
Also the alternative was given is "Black forest tea" anyone heard of it?
pLease i ned to knowwhat the alternatives to senokot is if they are being phased out as she will soon be returning and especially becos they are important for the success of my bowel programme.
thanks

Black Forest Tea is a natural laxative in the form of tea - we always used to take it if we were trying to lose weight while i was at High School in Joburg. I think it's got Senna in it. Not sure...
I dunno how effective it would be in a bowel programme or how long it takes to work. But it was never medically recommended to anyone i know as far as i know...

Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human

Hello, from Cape Town
Senokots are still available however, I was in the pharmacy the other day when someone came in and asked for them and, they got the same reply that they are very hard to come by as being fased out. My son is still in rehab and they use senokots all the time but, last weekend when he had a home visit they sent home a different tablet calledSoflax which is a Senna extract. Maybe they are doing away with Senokots, I will ask them at the centre when I go next time
