Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Take docusate tablets or capsules with a full glass of water. Drink plenty of liquids while you are taking docusate. Do not crush, chew, or break a docusate capsule. Swallow it whole.
Measure liquid medicine with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one. Mix the liquid with 6 to 8 ounces of milk, fruit juice, or infant formula and drink the mixture right away.
Do not take docusate rectal enema by mouth. It is for use only in your rectum. Wash your hands before and after using docusate rectal enema.
Try to empty your bowel and bladder just before using the enema.
Twist off the applicator tip. Lie down on your left side with your knees bent, and gently insert the tip of the enema applicator into the rectum. Squeeze the tube to empty the entire contents into the rectum. Throw away the tube, even if there is still some medicine left in it.
After using docusate, you should have a bowel movement within 12 to 72 hours. Call your doctor if you have not had a bowel movement within 1 to 3 days.
Do not use docusate for longer than 7 days unless your doctor has told you to. Overuse of a stool softener can lead to serious medical problems. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since docusate is used as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are using the medication regularly, use the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting or stomach pain.
What should I avoid while using Docu Soft (docusate)?
Avoid using laxatives or other stool softeners unless your doctor has told you to.
