Docusate Sodium
Docusate sodium is a versatile and highly effective and efficient pharmaceutical grade surfactant. Docusate sodium is often used as an exicipient in pharmaceutical production processes where it acts as a solubilizing agent for poorly soluble API's as well as a dispersing and emulsifying agent. It is also used as active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) in the production of stool softeners and prenatal and geriatric iron preparations.
