Equate Stool Softener Laxative Softgels, 100 mg, 400 Count, Compare to Colace® Regular Strength Stool Softener Active Ingredient

I am on a constant prescription of a strong opioid and unfortunately a side effect of this is major constipation. I use this OTC med along with another similar product and find that it definitely helps my situation. I wasn't going to review this as my "condition" is a rather touchy subject but then thought if it helps anyone else in a similar "bind" (no pun intended) why not. A very good purchase!

These are a bargain and offer a consistent result. If you're chronically on pain meds, or doing GLP-1s, you know that constipation is a very real issue, and if you don't address it, it can be extremely painful. I take 3 of these with a pain pill, and when I was doing glps, I did even more. Even if you eat a high fiber diet, drink plenty of water and take psyllium, sometimes that is not enough, and you pay the price. I take these with a senna chaser, less of those, as they will add up to an unpleasant surprise at times. Just guess when, ha, you never know! That's inconvenient, but I'd rather be on the looser side than be an Elvis. Pay attention to your body and help yourself be regular. Do all the good things, veggies, whole grains, psyllium, but these really help keep the pain out of being regular.
