Docusate Calcium is the calcium salt of docusate, a dioctyl salt and an emollient laxative with stool-softening activity. Docusate decreases surface tension and emulsification of fecal matter and allows water to penetrate and mix with stool. As a result, it softens the stool. Its therapeutic use is listed as laxatives. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Dioctyl calcium sulfosuccinate and Surfak. Its PubChem CID is 31407.
