Expert Advice

Together with Docusate, a fiber-rich diet containing whole grain bread and cereals, bran, fruits, and green leafy vegetables is essential for maintaining healthy bowel function.
Avoid taking Docusate for more than 1 week unless prescribed by a doctor, as prolonged use may lead to dependency on its laxative action for bowel movements.
Take Docusate at least 2 hours after other medications, as it may interfere with their absorption.
Docusate is preferably taken at bedtime, as it requires 6 to 8 hours to show its effects.
Docusate may be taken with milk or fruit juice to improve its flavor.
