Established use
- Symptomatic relief of occasional and chronic constipation, combining a bulk-forming action (ispaghula husk) with a stimulant action (sonapata/senna) for more reliable bowel evacuation.

- To facilitate easier, softer bowel movements in patients with painful anorectal conditions (e.g., hemorrhoids, anal fissure) where straining should be avoided, as an adjunct to other measures advised by a physician.
