Questions and Answers

Which is better to relieve hard stools... docusate sodium or docusate calcium?? And what is the difference?, Which is better for stool softening... docusate sodium or docusate calcium?? and why?? and what is the difference between the two of them besides the fact that docusate calcium is 240 mg and can only be taken once a day, and docusate sodium is 100mg and can be taken twice. Which is a better choice? And which will work better and/or faster??

Or neither?? ... one of the best things on the market, and now available without an Rx, is Miralax. (And no, I'm not getting paid to say that, though I sound like a commercial.) It really works, and doctors use it in the hospital ALL the time. It's odorless, tasteless, and non-gritty. You put it in a beverage and drink it down. Works like a charm.
