Stool Softner Dependency ? Posted: 08-10-07 12:38pm


I suffer from mild constipation, especially now since I've been eating more calcium because of my low bone density. I recently have been taking the stool softener Colace, and was wondering if it is safe to take everyday. Is there any risk of dependency with stool softeners?
