Why Stool Softener.
Eases GLP-1 constipation
Slowed gastric emptying on a GLP-1 commonly causes constipation; a stool softener keeps things comfortable.
Gentle by design
Softens stool by drawing water in rather than forcing the bowel — well tolerated for routine use.
Take as needed
Use it on the days you need it; many patients use it intermittently during dose increases.
How it works.
Take with water
Swallow with a full glass of water, ideally at the same time daily.
Softens over 1–3 days
Draws water into the stool so it passes comfortably.
Support it
Hydration, fiber, and movement do most of the work — this helps on hard days.
Dosing schedule.
Your clinician slowly ramps the dose to minimize side effects and maximize effect. Your exact schedule is personalized.
Everything to get started.
- ✓Monthly supply
- ✓Usage guidance
- ✓Provider check-in
How it actually works.
A stool softener (surfactant laxative such as docusate) lowers stool surface tension so water and fat penetrate the stool, softening it for easier passage — without directly stimulating the bowel.

Questions, answered.
Why do GLP-1s cause constipation?+
They slow gastric emptying and gut motility, which can harden and slow stool.
How fast does it work?+
Stool softeners typically take 1–3 days — they're for comfort and prevention, not urgent relief.
What else helps?+
Water, fiber, and movement. Tell your provider if constipation is severe or persistent.
