We get it, one pill does not fit all. That’s why we created Dulcolax Pink Stool Softener specifically made for women. Simply put, it’s a stimulant-free laxative containing the #1 OB/GYN recommended stool softener ingredient. Because the only thing better than being #1 is going #2.
Dulcolax Pink Stool Softener for women and Dulcolax Stool Softener have different inactive ingredients. Dulcolax Pink still contains the same efficacious active ingredient, docusate sodium, at the same strength as our other softener.
Take it anytime you need. It generally produces a bowel movement within 12 to 72 hours.
You can take up to 3 a day for up to 7 days. They may be taken all together or in divided doses. If needed for more than 7 days, please consult a doctor.
Yes. Women actually suffer 3X1 more than men do from constipation—which is why we created a stool softener for women.
Things can slow down during pregnancy because your body is making more of the female hormone progesterone, which relaxes the bowel muscles and makes it harder to do their job. Other factors include changes in diet, pressure from a growing baby and introduction of iron supplements. If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a healthcare professional before using a laxative.
