Docusate Sodium Liquid Stool Softener by GeriCare- Gentle Stimulant Laxative Liquid for Men & Women- Quick Constipation Relief Aid- Adults Daily Bowel Movement Laxative- Cherry-Flavored (16 fl oz)

Good Bm

Seems to be doing the job for my son who is on medications that can cause constipation.

As the other reviews mention, this burns like acid. I sampled a very small amount before giving it to my mother and I’m glad I did because I thought I was going to die. I wish that was an exaggeration. At the very bottom of the label in super small print it says this should be mixed w 8oz milk or juice. Wtf. Cherry flavored milk? Anyways, this needs to be printed right next to the dosing instruction. Aside from that, I’m sure no amount of liquid could mask what I experienced because there’s absolutely nothing that could make this fit for human consumption.

For me it works much better than pills

My Mom is 100 so I chose this because she is having a hard time swallowing the stool softener pills. Her caregiver put this in different drinks and with applesauce but she didn’t want to take it because she really doesn’t like the taste. I would guess it has the right effect but I don’t know because she would only take it for a couple of days before she started refusing it.

Make sure you read how to take this product. It had no effect on me so I can’t honestly recommend it as being a good laxative.

I have been taking the liquid Docusate Sodium for years now and have taken many different brands. I had fissure surgery about 20 years ago and the Doctor told me to take this medication, probably for the rest of my life. I have trouble swallowing a pill, so that's why I take the liquid. First, I tried taking this medication with a soft drink, then I tried juice, then I tried the only thing that will kill the very strong, bitter, awful taste of this medicine. I just mix the dosage the doctor told me to take with a glass of milk ( I use 2% milk) and it will dull the strong taste enough to where you can tolerate it. Nothing else worked, and I'll pray for you if you try and take this stuff without diluting it at all!!

I have used big gelcaps before. Hard to swallow and i would get a tummy ache in an HR. I got this to try. I read some reviews and most said take with milk. I took a mild dose for 2 days and not much happened. I then read more on it and 6tsp. Was mentioned. I used 6tsp to 12oz of milk. In 2 days it worked a lot of very easy to pass and ever day the same. I finally had full complete movements that were soft. I highly recommend. Must put in milk though it does irritate throut without it.
