A member asked:

Is it okay to take dulcolax while on amoxicillin, it's the talc in the medication safe to consume?

Specializes in Rheumatology

Stool softener: Dulcolax is a stool softener. Some antibiotics, like amoxicillin, can cause diarrhea. I would not recommend taking them both. If there is talc, in a commercial medical product, I think it would be safe to use. You may want to consult your primary care physician regarding both.
