Colace Regular Strength Stool Softener provides gentle and effective relief from occasional constipation without cramping or discomfort. Its stimulant-free formula works by softening stool, making it easier to pass naturally.
Features:
- Stimulant-Free: Provides gentle relief without cramping or urgency.
- Sodium-Free Formula: Safe for individuals monitoring sodium intake.
- Doctor Recommended: Trusted by healthcare professionals for safe and effective use.
- Softens Stool Naturally: Increases water content in the stool for smoother bowel movements.
- Comfortable & Effective: Reduces straining, making it ideal for pregnancy, post-surgery, or hemorrhoid relief.
How it works:
Colace Regular Strength capsules work differently than harsh laxatives by increasing the water in your stool so it’s softer and therefore easier to go to the bathroom. Colace is stimulant free with no cramping, straining, or harsh side effects. It’s so gentle and effective that doctors even recommend it during pregnancy and after surgery.
