Ducolace (not Ducolax!)

This has been prescribed - - there is nothing on the [Rx] label, or the container, stating the ingredients. (I suppose because it IS a prescription.) I have searched far and wide trying to find out the ingredients; is it a combo of colace and ducolax? or simply some company trying to trade on the syllables "duco", since ducolax is a well-known brand name! Thanks.

From what I could gather, Dulcolax stool softener is the same thing as Colace. They are not different other than the brand name. That said, it does make sense that Ducolace would simply be another brand name of the drug (from a different manufacturer perhaps).

I'm surprised the pharmacy who filled your prescription didn't give you more details on it. It seems like they try to get people out of there as quick as possible now-days.

Have you tried taking it yet?

They aren't the same drug. Dulcolax is trademark name for the generic bisacodyl, a laxative, and Colace is trademark name for the generic docusate, a stool softener--slightly different.
