Description

Dioctyl 100 mg Capsules contain docusate sodium, a gentle and effective stool softener used to relieve occasional constipation. With a clinically proven formula, these capsules help make bowel movements more comfortable by increasing the water content in the stool, making it softer and easier to pass.

Key Benefits:

  • Gentle Stool Softening: Dioctyl works by allowing water and fats to penetrate the stool, making bowel movements smoother and less painful.

  • Fast Acting: Experience relief from constipation typically within 1–3 days of taking the capsules, providing dependable and timely results.

  • Easy to Use: The small, easy-to-swallow capsules are ideal for people who struggle with larger tablets or have difficulty with powder laxatives.
