Impacted crop

[casportpony]

Could I butt in and ask a question? I thought that crop bound capsules had colace in them, and I wasn't under the impression that it was dulcolax. Dulcolax is a heavy duty laxative, where colace is a stool softener.

That's what I was thinking. I've taken both and I can tell you that the cramps and pain fromthe Dulcolax had in in the bathroom for hours!

If the active ingredient is just docusate, then yes, it's a softener, but if it's bisacodyl, that's a stimulant and probably should not be used.

This Ducolax has the stimulant:

Sorry about the confusion, but when I see Dulcolax, I would buy the bisacodyl, the laxative, since I worked in hospitals for years. It's really confusing when companies have such similar names on products. I feel more comfortable with saying doccusate sodium or colace for the stool softener. It just makes it less likely for a wrong product to be used. Two bisacodyl tablets would bring a big football player to his knees, LOL. I have personally witnessed this.
