Stool Softener Laxatives – Emollients
Stool softeners and emollients work by absorbing water into the fecal matter. This makes the fecal matter softer so it can pass easier through your colon and out the rectum. Two of the chemicals used in stool softener laxatives are docusate sodium and docusate calcium.
Dont use these types of laxatives since they have chemicals that can produce side effects. Docusate sodium has been found to increase the toxicity of drugs when taken at the same time. In addition, they affect liver function.
You can find some of these laxatives at your local drugstore under the names,
* Colace contains docusate sodium
* Dialose contains docusate sodium
* Surfak contains docusate calcium
Other products that contain docusate sodium and docusate calcium are:
* Senokot-S, Correctol 50 plus, Fleet Stool Softener, Phillips Liquid-Gel
Avoid using docusate with mineral oil since this increases the chances of absorbing some mineral oil into the body. Mineral oil in the body tissues can form tumors.
Pregnant women should avoid using this type of laxative.
