InfoHow Colace® 2-IN-1 WorksRecommended DosesWarnings

Treat occasional constipation – including constipation associated with certain medical conditions – safely, gently, and effectively with Colace® 2-IN-1 Tablets.

  • Gentle, dependable relief in 6-12 hours
  • Stool softener plus stimulant laxative


The active ingredients in Colace® 2-IN-1 Tablets are docusate sodium and standardized senna concentrate. These ingredients are used together to help relieve occasional constipation. Docusate sodium works to soften the stool. Standardized senna concentrate is a laxative that helps to gently stimulate motility of the intestines.

Take only by mouth. Doses may be taken as a single daily dose, preferably in the evening, or in divided doses.

Usual daily dose

  • Adults and children 12 years of age and older: 2-4 tablets daily
  • Children 6 to under 12 years: 1-2 tablets daily
  • Children 2 to under 6 years of age: Up to 1 tablet daily
  • Children under 2: Ask a doctor


Do not use laxative products for longer than 1 week unless told to do so by a doctor.

Do not use if you are presently taking mineral oil unless told to do so by a doctor.

Ask a doctor before use if you have:

  • Stomach pain
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Noticed a sudden change in bowel habits that lasts over two weeks

Stop use and ask a doctor if you have rectal bleeding or fail to have a bowel movement after use of a laxative. These could be signs of a serious condition.

If pregnant or breastfeeding, ask a health professional before use.

Keep out of reach of children. In case of overdose, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.
