Major Docusate Sodium 100 mg - Stool Softener Tablets for Constipation Relief - Helps Stop Constipation - Stool Softeners for Women, Men, and Kids Ages 12+ - 100 Tablets

These stool softeners work great and I appreciate the fact that they do not contain red dye. The price isn’t too bad either, but I cannot stress enough that these taste terrible. Definitely have to down them quick! I’m not one that gets very bothered by this, but I know some people have a hard time swallowing pills and especially ones that don’t taste well. Definitely leaves a nasty taste in your mouth if you’re not able to down them quickly. I have no problem with them though, and I have bought several bottles and will continue to do so as they do not contain red dye and work well.

This product works well & I really appreciate that it isn't covered with red dye like most other stool softeners. It's great that one tablet is the equivalent of 2 in other products, making it very economical!!

Docusate sodium is a bitter chemical no matter the brand. If you need it in an uncoated dye-free tablet just be prepared for that. This one is economical and effective. To avoid the bitter taste of this slightly large tablet I break it in fourths (easy to do) look up at the ceiling, and drop each piece directly to the back of my throat into a swallow of water. This almost completely avoids the taste buds.

I had no choice but to buy these stool softener tablets. My elderly mom used to take the gel cap without a problem, until recently she wasn’t able to swallow it properly and it slightly melted in her throat. The gel burned her so much that the more she coughed it out the worse the burning felt. She’s been taking these tablets for about two weeks and not a problem. Since she will not drink a full eight ounce glass of anything, it’s impossible to crush and mix in liquid for her to drink. Instead, I break the tablet in four parts and crush each piece and mix individually in apple sauce. Yes, it’s labor intensive but worth it. The tablet tastes horrible and by spreading it out in applesauce she has no idea she’s eating it over four spoonfuls. Only reason I don’t give it a 5 star is the talc content. I’ve yet to find a tablet that does not have talc and stimulant. She has to have a stool softener to avoid hardening of the stool and constipation, which is a greater risk for a 97 year old than the talc.

Fast shipping. I appreciate this option for not having dye in it. Its hard to find.

Bad after taste EVEN if you pinch you nose and take with a lot of water. I mean, it kind of worked but swallowing them is pretty bad; so bad you think whatever is in them isn't something you should be consuming.

Needed a product that met my dietary restrictions which meant it could not be a gel capsule. Works well but have to swallow it fast before the taste hits your tongue. Taste is bitter and not pleasant.

Works well… no dyes
