Colace Regular Strength Stool Softener, 100 mg

Description

Colace Regular Strength Stool Softener is designed to gently relieve occasional constipation by making stools softer and easier to pass. Each capsule contains docusate sodium 100 mg, an active ingredient that works by increasing the amount of water and fat absorbed into the stool, helping to ease bowel movements without harsh stimulation. This makes it suitable for individuals who should avoid straining, such as those recovering from surgery or experiencing hemorrhoids. It is a gentle, non-irritating option for restoring regular bowel comfort.
