Q: can you take 4 at once to make movement come quicker??
submitted by Alexa - 8 months ago
A: Hi! Colace® Clear is a stool softener used for occasional constipation that helps to produce a bowel movement in 12-72 hours. For adults and children 12 years and over, you can take 1-6 soft gels per day, and for up to 7 days, unless directed by a doctor. The dose can be taken in a single daily dose or in divided doses. The number of soft gels needed to produce a bowel movement may vary between each individual. Please speak to your doctor or retail pharmacist if you are unsure how many soft gels you should take.
Works great and have been using it for many years.

Before taking colace I had chronic, painful constipation as a symptom of IBS. I would go through bouts where it was so painful just to move, not to mention calling out from work and missing classes. When I tried colace it was on a whim, but it helped with ALL of my problems! Now I don’t even get constipated as long as I take this a few times a week. I really reccomend it!
