How many can you take to make for constipation ## Hello, Fred! How are you? You should follow the instructions on the label. Generally, it's one to two soft gels daily. Side effects may include nausea, flatulence and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am suffering with sciatica that is either caused by, or made worse by ulcerative colitis causing pain in my left leg. I am often constipated as a result and it makes the pain unberable at times. I know Diclofenac can cause stroke and I was wondering how safe it is to take Colace with it to ease the constipation being that they both contain a type of "sodium" ## Diclofenac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Colace/ Sodium Docusate is a stool softener. ## It isn't that they contain types of sodium, it is just the base ion of the exact salt that the medications are derived from. You shouldn't take anything, without your doctor's approval, but these aren't like the sodium you are thinking of that's found in food or table salt. Is there anything else I can hel...

If 1 is a stool softener can i take 2 to make it a laxative? I have constipation from my opioids. ## Hello Shirley, Excellent question. Stool Softener, AKA Docusate Sodium, commonly comes in 50mg and 100mg soft gels. I too have OIC (Opioid-Induced Constipation). Docusate Sodium is but one part of my regimen for my personal amount of Opioids. I also take a capful of Miralax almost every day. I also take 4 Docusate Sodium Softgels of 100mg each for a total of 400mgs. I'll take the softgels every other day. Now for a specific answer to your question: 1 soft gel of Docusate Sodium is a stool softener, of course. 2 softgels is a doubling of the stool softener and are simply just more stool softener. It doesn't convert to a laxative based on simply using a larger dose. Just as my 4 10...

Are there any Casanthranol Docusate Sodium products available in the U.S.? ## Unfortunately, I'm not finding the Casanthranol listed as being available, it seems that most products that contained it have changed their formula and now use Bisacodyl. Docusate sodium is available in quite a few products, though. Have you tried asking your pharmacist to help you find an alternative?

0145 capsule ## Does constipation cause high blood presure? ## A small, red colored gel cap with the 0145 marking on it contains Docusate Sodium, which is used as a stool softener and laxative. Learn more Docusate Sodium details here. It may cause some side effects that are in conjunction with how it works, such as bloating, cramping and diarrhea. And Merla, constipation can raise blood pressure, but usually only when it is occurring and when someone is straining to have a bowel movement. It is usually not a permanent or severe elevation that is present all the time. Are there any other questions? Anything I can help with?
