A member asked:
What if the color coat washes off of the ducolax pill, will it still move the bowels properly?

Unknown: As a general rule, if your medication has been altered from its manufactured form, it should probably not be taken.

Should: Be just fine but no harm tossing and taking another. How did it lose its coating would be the question.
