Information About Docusate

Available as a 50mg–100mg oral capsule or solution taken once to twice daily with a full glass of water, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. It acts as an anionic surfactant that facilitates water and fat penetration into the stool mass, softening hardened faeces and easing passage without stimulating intestinal contractions — onset of action is typically one to three days.
