netsavy006 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I know some medications prescribed can have a taste. I take my first Colace capsule tonight. I just want to know does it have a taste? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ophelia Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I know some medications prescribed can have a taste. I take my first Colace capsule tonight. I just want to know does it have a taste? Is that even a prescription? I thought it was OTC. If I am correct, it shouldn't have a taste because it is a gel capsule. Also, if it did/does have a taste, are you not going to take it?

netsavy006 Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'd still take it but I was curious. It may be both OTC and Rx because the pdoc gave me a 'script for this for constipation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I got it OTC when I was pregnant and, well, first of all, the shit(no pun intended, but noted) didn't work for THREE DAYS and, no, it didn't taste like anything. Maybe the RX version works better, or tastes worse, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It's a stool softener, not a laxative, so you have to accumulate enough stool to have new, improved softer poo. If the taste of the gel caps is really bothersome, they do make a suppository... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celestia Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I got it OTC when I was pregnant and, well, first of all, the shit(no pun intended, but noted) didn't work for THREE DAYS It is a stool softener not a laxative so it isnt expected to work like immediately. **unfondly remembering pregnancy constipation** It doesn't taste like anything. Like Ophelia said, any gel capsule--they all taste pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
