FAQs

What time of day should I take it?

Take it anytime you need. It generally produces a bowel movement within 12 to 72 hours.

How often can I take Dulcolax<sup>®</sup> Pink Stool Softener? How many can I take and is it safe for daily use?

You can take up to 3 a day for up to 7 days. They may be taken all together or in divided doses. If needed for more than 7 days, please consult a doctor.

Do women suffer from constipation more than men?

Yes. Women actually suffer 3x more than men do from constipation.

Is constipation more of a problem during pregnancy?

Things can slow down during pregnancy because your body is making more of the female hormone progesterone, which relaxes the bowel muscles and makes it harder to do their job. Other factors include changes in diet, pressure from a growing baby and introduction of iron supplements. If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a healthcare professional before using a laxative.
