No. Dulcoease contains docusate sodium, which is generally described as a non-stimulant stool softener. It works by helping water mix into the stool rather than stimulating bowel contractions.
Docusate sodium helps soften stools by allowing more water to mix into them. Softer stools can be easier to pass, which may help reduce straining for some people.
How fast it works can vary depending on the cause of constipation and the individual. Follow the label directions and allow time for the product to work; if symptoms don’t improve, ask a pharmacist for advice.
Dulcoease may be considered for occasional constipation linked to changes in routine, including travel. If you need constipation relief frequently, it’s best to speak with a pharmacist or GP to check the cause and most suitable option.
If you take regular medicines or have a long-term condition, check with a pharmacist before using laxatives. This helps ensure it’s appropriate for you and avoids potential interactions or unsuitable combinations.
Seek advice if constipation is persistent, severe, keeps returning, or if you have severe abdominal pain, vomiting, blood in your stool, fever, unexplained weight loss, or a sudden ongoing change in bowel habits. You can also contact NHS 111 for urgent guidance.
Important: Always read the label and patient information leaflet before use and use Dulcoease only as directed. Do not use laxatives for long periods unless advised by a healthcare professional. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, under medical care, taking other medicines, or symptoms persist, speak to a pharmacist or your GP for personalised advice.
