Is There A Stool Softener With Senna?
My Pain Management Doctor suggested I start taking Senna stool softener to help with the constipation associated with my pain meds, however, I can only find Senna listed as a laxative. He talked as though I should be able to take this all natural stool softener every day without a problem. Did I misunderstand? Is there no such thing as a stool softener with Senna?
