🩺 Clinical
DOK is an over-the-counter tablet containing docusate sodium, a stool softener. This product is an OTC monograph drug, meaning it is marketed under established FDA guidelines for its category rather than as an individually approved new drug. Docusate sodium is typically used to make bowel movements softer and easier by helping water mix into stool. People commonly use products with this ingredient when they want to relieve occasional constipation or when straining during bowel movements should be avoided.
