I've been struggling with occasional constipation and my doctor recommended Senna 176mg/5ml Syrup. I've read that it usually works within 6 to 12 hours, so I plan to take it at bedtime. Has anyone else used this? I'm curious to know how effective it is and if there are any side effects to watch out for. I'm a bit nervous about the potential for severe allergic reactions, so any insights would be appreciated. Also, does anyone know if it's safe to use long-term? Thanks!
