Amazon Basic Care Stool Softener Laxative, Docusate Sodium 100 mg, Softgels, For Constipation Relief, 100 Count

I've been using these for years. I take 1 cap with my a.m. med's & 1 at bedtime. This isn't meant to be a laxative but a stool softener.Taking MORE pills than recommended is NOT a good idea. A LOT depends on your daily fluid intake, activity levels & your DIET!I'm 73 & a disabled Type II insulin dependent Diabetic - so NO "fast food" garbage for me.If you eat a reasonably healthy diet this product will definitely help keep you regular & comfortable in the process - but for best results try to keep to a healthier diet & pay attention to your daily fluid intake.

My physician recommended Colace for me 20 years ago. I avoided it all that time thinking it was a laxative. TMI, but I tried it out of desperation and low and behold, it does exactly what it says. STOOL SOFTENER. And yes, I bought this brand not the brand name of Colace.

I've used the Amazon Basic Care Stool Softener with Docusate Sodium 100 mg multiple times, and it consistently delivers. It's gentle on the stomach, works overnight without cramping, and does exactly what it's supposed to do. The 100-count bottle is a great value and lasts a long time. A reliable product to keep on hand—highly recommend for anyone who occasionally needs help staying regular.

It’s makes you poop for sure but not like omg get me to the bathroom kinda laxative

El producto es de muy buena calidad realmente cumple su función, cuando me lo tomé no sentí dolor de estómago qué pasa con algunos laxantes, quiere decir que es suave con tu estómago pero es efectivo lo recomiendo ampliamente

Who needs the gory details? This works as well as the name brand for a fraction of the price. Smallish pills that are easy to swallow, has no taste.

Great value, much cheaper than drugstore

I’m not sure, but I don’t think these pills helped me. I was constipated — for several weeks, it was difficult for me to have a proper bowel movement. I was going to the bathroom, but it felt like not everything was coming out — like something was stuck. I bought these pills hoping they would fix the problem. On Monday evening, I took two. On Tuesday during the day, I took three. But nothing happened after that — I didn’t go to the bathroom. So on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, I decided to start eating dried apricots and prunes regularly, because I read online that they are good natural remedies for constipation. On Wednesday evening, I was finally able to go, and again on Thursday. I’m not sure what exactly helped — the prunes, the apricots, or the pills. It’s hard to say, but the pills didn’t seem to have any noticeable effect. And I still feel like the issue isn’t fully resolved. I’ve been continuing to eat dried apricots and prunes actively for the past five days.
