Description
Indications
Docusate is a stool softener employed in the management of occasional constipation. Certain medications and medical conditions can contribute to the occurrence of constipation.
Stool softeners, such as docusate, are frequently utilized as the initial line of treatment for this form of constipation. Docusate is particularly appropriate in cases where straining during bowel movements should be avoided, for example post-cardiac event or surgical procedure.
Docusate operates by augmenting the water absorption capacity of feces, thereby promoting the formation of softer stools for easier bowel movements.
Uses and Dosage
Stool softeners are available in various forms such as capsules, tablets, liquid, and syrup, and are administered orally. They are typically taken at bedtime. Strictly adhere to the directions indicated on the label or as prescribed by a healthcare provider. In case of any confusion, it is advisable to seek clarification from a doctor or pharmacist.
Swallow the docusate capsules whole and avoid splitting, chewing, or crushing them. The capsules and tablets should be taken with a full glass of water, while the liquid form comes with a marked dropper for accurate dosing. If necessary, a pharmacist can assist in demonstrating the correct usage of the dropper. The liquid form can be mixed with 4 ounces (120 milliliters) of milk, fruit juice, or formula to mask its bitter taste.
It usually takes 1-3 days of regular usage for the medication to take effect. Stool softeners should not be taken for more than 1 week unless advised by a doctor. In case of sudden changes in bowel habits lasting longer than 2 weeks or if the stools remain hard even after a week of taking the medication, consult a doctor.

FAQ
Do you have to drink a lot of water with Colace?
