DulcoEase Stool Softener - 30 Gel Capsules

DulcoEase® Stool Softener Gel Capsules provide gentle, effective relief from constipation caused by hard, dry stools. Unlike stimulant laxatives, DulcoEase® works by softening stools, making them easier to pass without stimulating the bowel.

It contains docusate sodium, a stool softener that helps water mix into the stool, reducing dryness and discomfort. This makes DulcoEase® particularly suitable for people who should avoid straining, such as after surgery, during pregnancy (on advice), after childbirth, or when constipation is associated with painful bowel movements.

The easy-to-swallow gel capsule formulation offers a convenient option for short-term constipation relief. This 30-capsule pack is suitable for occasional use and repeat short courses when required.
