InfoHow Colace® 2-IN-1 WorksRecommended DosesWarnings
Colace® 2-IN-1 Tablets soften hard, painful stool by combining stool softener action (docusate sodium) with the gentle stimulant power of senna.
- Gentle, reliable relief from occasional constipation (irregularity) in 6-12 hours

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.
