A member asked:
Dr said to take colase... i don't have any... can i use metamucil? will it do the same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colace or Metamucil.: Same goal by different mechanism. Both taken daily as opposed to “as needed”. Metamucil is certainly worth a try if you don’t have any Colace.
