Sometimes babies skip a few bowel movements and then the stool gets so hard it's difficult and painful for them to push it out. Always check with your doctor first but if increasing water intake doesn't solve the problem you'll probably do well to have infant Colace drops around. Tastes terrible but you only have to use a few drops as opposed to other brands which require several teaspoonfuls a day. Directions: Infants and children under 3: As prescribed by physician. Children 3 to 6 years: 2 mL 1 to 3 times daily with 120 mL of milk or fruit juice or in infant's formula (to mask the bitter taste), until bowel movements are normal.
DOCUSATE SODIUM 10 MG / ML
Why is Colace prescribed?
Colace, a stool softener, promotes easy bowel movements without straining. It softens the stool by mixing in fat and water.
Colace is helpful for people who have had recent rectal surgery, people with heart problems, high blood pressure, hemorrhoids, or hernias, and women who have just had babies.
Colace Microenema is used to relieve occasional constipation.
Most important fact about Colace
Colace is for short-term relief only, unless your doctor directs otherwise. It usually takes a day or two for the drug to achieve its laxative effect; some people may need to wait 4 or 5 days. Sof-Lax Overnight works in 6 to 12 hours. Colace Microenema works in 2 to 15 minutes.
How should you take Colace?
To conceal the drug's bitter taste, take Colace liquid in half a glass of milk or fruit juice; it can be given in infant formula. The proper dosage of this medication may also be added to a retention or flushing enema.
For Colace Microenema:
Lubricate the tip by pushing out a drop of the medication.
Slowly insert the full length of the nozzle into the rectum. (Stop halfway for children aged 3 to 12 years of age.)
Squeeze out the contents of the tube.
Remove the nozzle before you release your grip on the tube.
