Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to assist you.
Hydrocodone is known to cause constipation.
Docusate sodium is a stool softener. But docusate sodium alone will not be effective in relieving constipation.
As a next step you can take lactulose (15-30 ml twice a day). This is very effective in relieving constipation due to hydrocodone.
I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar Kini
