Docusate Sodium works as a stool softener by allowing water and fats to penetrate the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. When used as a rectal enema, it also acts as an evacuant to stimulate bowel evacuation quickly.

Adults and children 12 years and older:

Use one to three mini enema units daily under adult supervision.

Children under 12 years:

Consult a doctor before use.
