Docusol

DocuSol® Kids mini-enemas

Many over-the-counter treatments for children’s constipation contain bisacodyl, a known irritant. DocuSol® Kids, a first-of-its kind formula, does not. The non-irritating DocuSol® formulation functions as a stool-softening, hyperosmotic laxative by drawing water into the bowel from surrounding body tissues, replicating a normal bowel stimulus. This unique formulation provides children ages 2–12 fast, predictable relief of constipation.

DocuSol® Kids was designed for easy use at home. The DocuSol® Kids tube is designed to offer a minimally invasive, soft, and flexible tip, avoiding any scratching or irritation to the skin. Just a 5 milliliter tube delivering 100mg of docusate sodium, the medication provides fast relief in just a few, easy steps! See package for instructions.

Constipation is the most common gastrointestinal complaint in the United States. An estimated 42 million individuals have bowel issues or constipation. The docusate sodium DocuSol® mini-enema has been used by patients and healthcare facilities for over 15 years.
