A member asked:
Is it ok to take 100mg of colace daily during pregnancy to help with regularity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All meds: And supplements are to be discussed with Obs-Gyn directing the care during your pregnancy. Agents other than docusate are preferred for constipation during pregnancy, due to not being as effective, it is a stool softener, not a true laxative.
