APPLICATIONS
Docusate salts, dibasic anionic surfactant, are used as powerful wetting agent, penetrating agents and dispersants. End applications include agrochemicals, pulp and paper, paint and inks, resins and textiles, rubber, metals and mineral and petroleum oils.

Pharmaceutical grades of docusates (calcium, potassium, sodium) are used as laxative (stool softeners,administered orally or rectally), tablet disintegrants (due to its solubilizing action) and as emulsifiers (or dispersants) in topical preparations.

Cathartics promote or encourage defecation by accelerating the passage of feces through the large intestine, by influencing the consistency and amount of stool, and by facilitating the elimination of feces from the rectum. The terms laxative and cathartic reflect the typical intensity and latency of effect. A cathartic usually produces prompt fluid evacuation, while a laxative usually produces a soft formed stool over a protracted period. Cathartics or laxatives can be classified as belows:

  • Bulk-forming agents
    • Psyllium
    • Methylcellulose
    • Polycarbophils
  • Osmotics
    • Saline
    • Cleansing laxative
      • Polyethylene glycol
    • Hyperosmolar laxative
      • Lactulose
      • Sorbitol
      • Glycerin suppositories
  • Stimulants
    • Cascara
    • Sennosides
    • Phenolphthalein
    • Bisacodyl
    • Casanthranol
    • Aloe Vera
    • Castor Oil
  • Stool softener
    • Docusate Calcium
    • Docusate Sodium
    • Docusate Potassium
  • Lubricants/Emollients
    • Mineral oils
