Docusate should not be taken with mineral oil laxatives such as liquid paraffin.

Mixing docusate with herbal remedies and supplements

There's not enough information to say that complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with docusate. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
