I am taking Senokot, I am told that it is best to take it at bedtime, but I am already taking Aventyl and Rivotril. When can I take it?

Question

Question about the best time to take medication, I take medication in the morning when I wake up. At each meal and at night. Thank you for the quick response

Hello! Senokot can be taken at any time of the day. Its effectiveness will be the same whether it is taken in the morning or in the evening. So if you want to take it at bedtime, there is no problem! Senokot is very interesting because there are very few interactions with other medications. In fact, there are no interactions between Senokot, Aventyl and Rivotril. So you can take it with your other medications without any problems! If you find that your Senokot is not effective enough, it can be combined with other mild laxatives, such as Colace (docusate sodium) or Lax-a-day. These are 2 treatments that can be prescribed by your pharmacist, which allows the cost to be passed on to your insurance on your record. We look forward to answering your questions!
