What is docusate?

Docusate is a stool softener. It makes stools softer and easier to pass.

Docusate is used to treat constipation due to hard stools, in painful anorectal conditions, and for people who should avoid straining during bowel movements.

Docusate may also have uses other than those listed in this product guide.

What is the most important information I should know about docusate?

Do not use docusate if you have stomach (abdominal) pain, nausea, or vomiting, unless directed by doctor. Do not take mineral oil or aspirin while taking docusate, unless otherwise directed by your health care provider.

Who should not take docusate?

Do not take docusate without first talking to your doctor if you have
  • an inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn"s disease or ulcerative colitis,

  • other intestinal problems, or

  • abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting.

You may not be able to take docusate or you may require special monitoring while taking docusate if you have any of the conditions listed above.

Do not take docusate without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant. Do not take docusate without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Some forms of docusate are formulated for use by children. Talk to the child"s doctor before using this product to treat a child.

How should I take docusate?

Take docusate exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.

Take each dose with a full glass of water.

Docusate is available in tablet and capsule formulations. Swallow the tablets and capsules whole. Do not chew or crush them.

Docusate is also available in liquid form. To ensure that you get the correct dosage, measure docusate with a dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one. Mix the liquid with 6 to 8 ounces of milk, fruit juice, or infant formula and drink immediately.

Docusate is also available for use as a rectal enema. To use a rectal enema:

  • Shake the bottle gently to make sure the suspension is mixed. Remove the protective cap from the applicator tip. Holding the bottle at the neck will not cause any of the medication to come out.

  • Gently insert the tip into the rectum, pointing toward the belly button (umbilicus). A steady squeezing of the bottle will discharge most of the medication.

The effect on stools is usually apparent 1 to 3 days after the first dose of docusate. Do not take docusate for more than 1 week unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

Store docusate at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only the next regularly scheduled dose. It is not necessary to take a double dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention.

Symptoms of a docusate overdose are not known but might include nausea, vomiting or stomach pain.

What should I avoid while taking docusate?

Do not take mineral oil or aspirin while taking docusate, unless otherwise directed by your health care provider.
