Safely Buy Colace ( Docusate Sodium - non Rx ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Colace is a medication prescribed to help relieve constipation by softening stool. This medication helps reduce pain and rectal damage that hard stools or straining during bowel movements can produce.

Docusate Sodium increases the amount of water in stool and reduces tension in the colon to make defecating less effort. Thanks to this, Colace is helpful for those who have difficulty passing stools because of hemorrhoids or other conditions.
