I just found out that you're not supposed to take aspirin and docusate at the same time, but I can't determine why. Googling it has been ineffective. Does anyone know why?
I could not find the info about "WHY" but it is mentioned on allllllll web-pages , so stay away from Aspirin ; ). I only know that it also should never be used with mineral oil because than some kind of liver tumors can form Stay well - be safe
Hi, Docusate can cause stomach and rectal bleeding, if you couple that with aspirin you could be in serious trouble, that's why the combo isn't advised. I called my pharmacists and he said not to use them together.
I used Colace and taken aspirins and never had any ill effects for combining it.As for mineral oil I use A+D ointment which has light mineral oil in it and no ill effects either.I'm not using Colace anymore so I don't think I'm going to find out but maybe if you ingest mineral oil along with docusate it can be bad.It's always better to be on the safe side so go with it from there.
Sorry for finding this after so much time passed - YES - only if you use mineral oil internally you should not use Colace too. Topical forms have nothing to do with that interaction.
