GeriCare Docusate Sodium Stool Softener - 100mg Gentle Stimulant Laxative Softgels for Men & Women- Constipation Relief - Adults Daily Bowel Movement Laxative (Pack of 1)

I've had chronic constipation all my life, as far back as I can remember. I've been to the ER twice in recent years because of impacted stools. One of these at each meal definitely helps keep my stool soft enough to pass. They're quite small, so they should be easy to swallow, but they keep getting caught in my throat and then I cough them back up - I guess they're so small the water can pass by them instead of pushing them down. I solve that problem by taking each one with a larger gelcap, and by taking them first, not after I've finished eating.I prefer the 1000-count bottle, also by Gericare, for the economy and so I don't have to buy them so often. I have a regular prescription-type pill bottle I fill from the Gericare bottle; that makes the pills easy to dispense and minimizes exposure of the rest of the pills to the air (although, of all the gelcaps I take, this one is the least apt to get sticky in humid weather).

good price on this

What can I say they help you plop?

It works and it's a good price-but it's annoying that red food coloring is added. (Obviously I didn't read the ingredient label thoroughly!) It's much cheaper than name brand docusate sodium. Great for constipation and post-surgical opioid-induced issues.

For the past several years as I’m getting older my stool is getting hard. Painful to pass it. Frequently the toilet plugs. Plunger doesn’t work so out comes the snake. Overall an unpleasant experience. I’ve been taking one each day for about 1.5 to 2 years. No more drama. It’s like being a young man again. I go everyday and my plunger and snake are collecting dust. No side effects other than a slight touch of gas once in awhile. I highly recommend these.

No complaints and works as it should. Great price, too.

Meanwhile it is not helping me

Muy buenas las uso siempre
