Dioctyl 100mg (docusate sodium) capsules

Licensed docusate sodium 100mg capsules — a stool softener working through surfactant action to allow water and fats to penetrate hard stools, making them softer and easier to pass Genuinely different mechanism from bulk-forming, osmotic, stimulant, or prokinetic laxatives — softens rather than accelerates, bulks, or stimulates Standard adult dose 1 capsule twice daily initially, adjustable up to 500mg daily in divided doses. Effect develops over 1-3 days, so patience during initial dosing matters Particularly suits hard-stool constipation, painful defecation from fissures or haemorrhoids, post-surgical scenarios where straining should be avoided, and older adults with hard-stool constipation Pack size: 30 capsules and 100 capsules
