Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What happened to the SDA brand 1000-count bottle?
The SDA brand 1000-count bottle has been discontinued due to persistent supply issues. We have replaced it with the Geri-Care 1000-count Tablets, which contain the exact same active ingredient (Docusate Sodium 100 mg) at the same bulk value.

Why is the recommended substitute a tablet instead of a softgel?
Tablets are preferred for bulk and institutional use because they are more shelf-stable and do not stick together in warmer climates. They provide the same 100 mg dose of Docusate Sodium as the previous softgel version.

Is 100 mg strong enough for my needs?
100 mg is the standard clinical dose. If you find your constipation is more stubborn, consult your doctor about whether an extra-strength 250 mg version is appropriate for your regimen.
