Docusate (pronounced /?d?kju?se?t/ ) is the generic name of a surfactant used as a laxative and stool softener [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

Docusate (pronounced /?d?kju?se?t/ ) is the generic name of a surfactant used as a laxative and stool softener [ 1 ] [ 2 ]
Docusate is also any of a group of anionic surfactants widely used as emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing agents.
Docusate is given to make stools softer and easier to pass. It is used to treat constipation due to hard stools, in painful anorectal conditions such as hemorrhoids , and for people who should avoid straining during bowel movements. Of note is that the effect of docusate may not necessarily be all due to its surfactant properties. Perfusion studies suggest that docusates inhibit fluid absorption or stimulate secretion in the portion of the small intestine known as the jejunum . Patients should take plenty of water to help the movement of feces, therefore speeding up the initial bowel movement.
