Customer scenario 1

I’d like to buy something for my constipation. I don’t go everyday, but that is normal for me. Every now and then I get a bout of constipation where I struggle to go to the toilet for a couple of days. When I finally go, it’s quite painful and my poo is really hard and dry. I’ve tried drinking more fluid, exercising a bit and eating more fruit and veg, and I’ve tried an ispaghula product but none of those seem to help.

Are you taking any other medication, or are there any other symptoms you are worried about?

No, but it really feels uncomfortable now.

You could try DulcoEase. It’s what’s known as a stool softener. It has a dual action effect where it softens your poo as well as stimulating your bowel to make it easier to go to the toilet. It can also help prevent constipation. It’s a soft gel capsule that you should swallow whole with a glass of water.

And how quickly does it work? I don't want to get caught out!

DulcoEase provides relief in 1 to 2 days, so you should be fine. Keep on drinking fluid, exercising and eating fruit and veg.
