Re: stool softeners       10/16/07 04:50 AM Edit Reply Quote cejay Reged: 08/27/06 Posts: 84 According to my doctor they can. I do not use them every day but when I have to take certain medication that can cause constipation, such as when I use my antispasmodics or when I started my Lexapro or when I have to go on iron pills I used them. He informed me that all they do is pull the liquid into your stool and have a mineral oil type additive that helps the stools to become more "slippery". As a matter of fact, my pregnant friend takes them since her prenatal vitamin has iron and constipates her. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
