Why must you drink plenty of water while taking colace?
Question:
Answers:
Because, over time, the taker can become dehydrated. Many medicines can cause a water depletion effect due to how they work in conjunction with treating a problem.
U have to drink the full glass of water to help the pill dissolve as this is a laxative and it will dissolve faster if taken with a full glass of water.
Because the product needs water to work. Part of the reason you would have to take colace is because you are constipated and dont drink enough water. Personally I would take every bodys fiber by natures sunshine. then you will be done in 2 weeks. 2 scoops a day for 2 weeks and then 1 scoop a day until your healed.

Some Laxatives can cause dehydration and others can cause stomach upset so the water helps the body to absorb the medication better . The water also helps soften the stools so they pass through more easily
Colace works by drawing water into your colon in order to soften the stool. You need to stay well hydrated to keep your blood pressure from bottoming out and to keep your kidneys working properly.
Stools get hard when the large intestine extracts water from the stool before it passes. When your large intestine fails to do this you get diarhhea.
Colace works by blocking some of this water absorption so that stools remain soft, but does not block water absorption to the point to where you get diarrhea.
When taking colace, some of your water storage and retrieval mechanisms are compromised, Therefore, a little extra water to help make up for what is now being passed due to the colace will be helpful.
I also agree that most people who have these type issues are not getting enough water anyway and that pills usually get absorbed better with water in the gut.
I'm a cna at a hospital and the reason you need to drink lots of water is to help the stool soften more and avoid straining and causing the hemmoroids to bleed besides hydrating your body to avoid having hard stools in the first place.It also aids the laxatives to do their job better.Alot of hemmoroids are caused by straining from hard stools and if you can drink ALOT of water every day,it'll be much better on you in the long run.Some people need extra help with fiber laxatives to do this as long as it's a natural and not a stimulant to avoid dependency on laxatives.
