Col Rite is used to treat occasional constipation.
Many factors can lead to constipation, including certain medications and underlying health conditions. Col Rite, containing docusate, functions as a stool softener, making it a common first-line treatment for both preventing and alleviating constipation. By increasing the amount of water that the stool absorbs, it becomes softer and easier to pass.
How Col Rite Works:
- Stool Softening: Docusate, the active ingredient, helps water and fats penetrate the stool.
- Easier Bowel Movements: This makes the stool softer and easier to pass, relieving constipation.
Important Considerations:
- Col Rite is generally used for occasional constipation and not intended for long-term use.
- If constipation persists or worsens, it's important to consult a healthcare professional.
- Other lifestyle changes, such as increasing fiber intake and drinking plenty of water, can also help prevent constipation.
