Senokot Extra Strength 72 Count: What to Know

This is the brand's stronger formulation, and it is included because strength is a real axis in this category and this is the only product on the page claiming a different position on it. The listing describes a standardized senna concentrate, uses the words extra strength, and comes from the same named manufacturer as the Regular Strength tablets, Atlantis Consumer Health Care.

Standardized is the word doing the work and it is a meaningful one: a standardized concentrate is processed to deliver a consistent amount of the active compounds per tablet rather than varying with the raw plant material. That is the basis on which a stronger version can be offered at all.

The pack is 72 tablets, the second smallest here, which is consistent with a product intended for occasional use rather than stocking.

The listing's framing is otherwise the same as the Regular Strength one: gentle overnight relief from occasional constipation, with the tablets taken at bedtime.

Now the limitation, and it is the reason this sits last rather than first. The listing never states a milligram amount. There is no active-ingredients field in its detail table and no figure in its bullets, so extra strength is stated relative to nothing numerical. Three products on this page state sennosides 8.6mg; this one cannot be compared to them on dose from the listing alone. For a product whose entire proposition is being stronger, that omission matters more than it would elsewhere, and it also makes the per-tablet cost impossible to assess in like-for-like terms. The Drug Facts panel on the package carries the regulated statement, and a pharmacist can tell you how it compares before you choose between the two Senokot strengths.

The same one-week warning that the Regular Strength listing spells out applies to this product too, and this listing does not repeat it.
