Colace

Colace is an over-the-counter medication used to soften stools and treat constipation. It’s also known as docusate sodium, which is its active ingredient. Colace works by helping the stool retain water, making the stool softer and easier to pass. Colace should be taken orally with a full glass of water and can be taken with or without food. Though Colace can provide quick relief from constipation, it may take several days of use before the full benefit is realized. When taking Colace, it's important also to make lifestyle changes, like increasing physical activity, drinking plenty of fluids, and eating a diet high in fiber. Taking Colace on a regular basis can provide long-term relief from constipation and help prevent recurrent episodes.
