What is Stool Softener/Laxative?
Stool softeners, such as those containing docusate sodium, are medications designed to make bowel movements easier by increasing the amount of water absorbed by the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. Laxatives, on the other hand, are substances that stimulate bowel movements by promoting peristalsis or helping retain water in the intestines, aiding in relieving constipation. Both are typically used short-term for alleviating temporary digestive discomfort and should be used as directed to avoid potential side effects.Side Effects
