CAS 7491-09-0
:Docusate potassium
Description:
Docusate potassium, with the CAS number 7491-09-0, is a surfactant and stool softener commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations. It is a potassium salt of docusate, which is an anionic surfactant that facilitates the mixing of water and lipids, thereby enhancing the absorption of water into the stool. This action helps to soften the stool and promote easier bowel movements, making it useful in the treatment of constipation. Docusate potassium is typically administered orally or rectally and is known for its mild and non-irritating properties. In addition to its laxative effects, it may also be used in various cosmetic and personal care products due to its emulsifying and wetting properties. The substance is generally recognized as safe when used as directed, but it may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some individuals. Its solubility in water makes it easy to incorporate into liquid formulations, contributing to its widespread use in both medicinal and non-medicinal applications.
