Mckesson Stool Softener Geri-Care Tablet 1,000 Per Bottle 100 Mg Strength Docusate Sodium By Size 1000 Tabs
Stool Softener Docusate Sodium - 100 mg - Compares to Colace Docusate is known as a 'stimulant laxative'. It acts on nerve endings in the gut wall. These nerves then make the muscles in the intestine contract with more force and more often. When the gut contracts, it moves the contents along faster, and so it reduces constipation. It may also act by softening the stool. The muscle contractions move the feces through the bowel faster, meaning that there is less time for water to be absorbed from the feces in the gut into the blood. As a result, the feces contain more water and are softer and easier to pass. As docusate increases the activity of the muscle in the gut, it often causes stomach cramps. The tablets, taken by mouth, take about 1 to 2 days to work. Warning: Stool softeners should not be used within two hours of other medications because they may reduce their intended effects. Stool softeners should not be given at the same time as mineral oil. Like all laxatives, stool softeners should not be used frequently or for a prolonged period of time without a doctor's advice. Not to be used if you have: Blockage of the gut (intestinal obstruction) Piles/haemorrhoids Tear in the lining of the back passage (anal fissure) This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to one or any of its ingredients.
