Docusate, or docusate sodium, is a gentle laxative that gets to work easing your uncomfortable constipation.
Docusate works as a stool softener, which means it draws water into your colon, helping to soften your poo so you can pass it easily and comfortably.
Docusate sodium is available in capsules, liquid, and enemas, so you can choose the best solution to ease your constipation.
If you’re blocked up and need a way to get things moving without being too harsh on your system, docusate sodium could be the perfect solution.

Docusate sodium 100mg capsules are available from pharmacists like Chemist 4 U, so you can get things moving ASAP.
However, if you require higher doses of docusate sodium, or formulations meant for children or to be delivered in an enema, you will need to speak to your pharmacist and answer some routine questions before you can buy these products.
Here at Chemist 4 U, we make this process as easy as possible by requesting that you answer a questionnaire before you place your order with us.
This will pop up when you place an item in your basket so you can fill it out and it can be sent to our pharmacists for review before we dispatch your order.
Some formulations of docusate sodium are suitable for children aged 6 months and over.
However, you should speak to your doctor, pharmacist, or health visitor before giving these or any other medicines to your child.
They can help you to be sure that you’re giving your child the best possible treatment.
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you should speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medication, including docusate sodium.
Constipation is a common problem that many women face during pregnancy, but you should only take docusate sodium if a medical professional advises that it’s the best solution for you.
