Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is the Major brand supply unpredictable?
The pharmaceutical supply chain can experience regional backorders. We monitor these fluctuations closely and recommend Geri-Care as a reliable, pharmacy-grade alternative to ensure you don't run out of your essential medication.
When is the best time to take a stool softener?
Many users take it at night with a full glass of water to encourage a comfortable bowel movement the following morning, though it can be taken at any time of day.
Why choose tablets over softgels?
Tablets are often preferred by those who want to avoid gelatin or those who live in warmer climates where softgels might stick together in the bottle.
