Colace (docusate sodium) is an over-the-counter osmotic laxative commonly used in the management of occasional constipation. Its active ingredient, docusate sodium, works by increasing the amount of water that is drawn into the intestines, thereby softening the stool, and stimulating bowel movements. This makes it easier to pass stools, thereby providing relief from constipation.
Docusate (Colace) is a medication used to soften stools and relieve constipation. It works by drawing water and fat into the stool, making it softer and easier to pass through the gastrointestinal tract. This helps to relieve constipation and make bowel movements more comfortable.
Colace can reduce the pain or rectal damage caused by hard stools or by straining during bowel movements. Colace’s availability without a prescription makes it a convenient and accessible option for those who suffer from occasional constipation.
Docusate is commonly used in the short-term management of constipation, to help prevent straining during defecation in patients who should not strain, such as those who have recently undergone anorectal surgery or experienced a myocardial infarction. Also, docusate is often used to evacuate the colon before rectal and bowel examinations and to prevent dry, hard stools.
Colace (Docusate Sodium) is available in several formulations including capsules, drops, and syrup. It should be taken with a full glass of water, alongside enough fluids. This medication is taken orally, with or without food, typically once or twice daily in equal doses. It is advisable to start with a lower dose and increase it gradually as directed by a healthcare provider.
For adults, the usual dose for the treatment of constipation is 50 to 300 mg daily, divided into 1 to 4 doses. For children under the age of 2, it is best to consult with a physician before administering docusate sodium. For children aged 2 to 12, the recommended dose is 50 to 150 mg daily, divided into 1 to 4 doses.
The directions on the product label should be followed precisely. Do not take this medication more frequently than directed. Drinking enough fluids while taking Colace is important to help soften the stool.
