Docusate Sodium Coupons & Docusate Sodium Savings Card
generic Stool Softener/laxative
Occasional constipation is treated with this medication. Constipation can be caused by certain medications and conditions. To prevent and treat this type of constipation, stool softeners like docusate are often prescribed as the initial approach. Docusate is commonly used when it's important to avoid straining during bowel movements, such as after a heart attack or surgery.
Docusate acts as a stool softener by increasing the absorption of water in the gut, resulting in softer and easier-to-pass stools. Relief from constipation symptoms is typically experienced within 1 to 3 days of starting this medication.
Even if you've used the product before, it's important to check the ingredients on the label because manufacturers may have made changes. Additionally, products with similar names may contain different ingredients intended for different purposes. Using the wrong product could potentially cause harm.
