Drug Details

This medication is designed to provide relief from occasional constipation. Docusate, a stool softener, is typically used as a preventative and treatment measure for constipation, especially when it's important to avoid straining, such as after surgery or a heart attack. It functions by increasing the water content in the stool, which softens it and makes it easier to pass. Most people experience relief within one to three days of starting this medication. Always check the product's ingredients on the label, even if you have used it before, as formulations may change over time. Using a product with incorrect ingredients could be harmful.
