Frequently asked questions
Does this provide comfortable and gentle relief?
Yes, Colace is specifically formulated to be stimulant-free. Unlike harsh laxatives, it works by gently hydrating and softening the stool, which helps to relieve occasional constipation without causing the sudden or uncomfortable urgency often associated with other products.
Is this recommended by medical professionals?
Absolutely. Colace is recognized as the #1 doctor-recommended stool softener brand, providing you with a trusted and reliable solution for managing your digestive health.
What is the dosage strength of each capsule?
Each individual capsule contains 100 mg of Docusate Sodium, which is the active ingredient responsible for its stool-softening properties.
How does the active ingredient help with constipation?
The active ingredient, Docusate Sodium, acts as a stool softener by helping to pull moisture into the stool. This process increases hydration and makes bowel movements significantly more comfortable to pass.
