Dulcolax stool softener

Question:

Is it safe to take Dulcolax Stool Softener every day?

Answer:

Stool softeners, along with insoluble fiber therapy, should be safe for daily use. Be sure to avoid softeners that contain a stimulant laxative, as these can cause colonic “inertia” with long-term use.
