Patient was educated on precautions to be exercised while taking Senna as follows:
- Notify your doctor, if your constipation does not get any better or if it gets worse, while continuing to use Senna.
- Do not increase the dose of Senna intake, to derive the desired effect of having a bowel movement, without consulting your doctor.
- If you miss a dose, try taking it at the earliest notice of noncompliance. If it is time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take the dose scheduled. Do not take an extra dose to try making up for the missed dose.
- Report any lack of bowel movement for 3 days, while using Senna.
