 What happened to Correctol? Don't they make it any more? Last week I went to three different stores to get some because I ran out and nobody had it. They all had generics, but not the real thing, so that's what I wound up with.

Just wondering if anybody else noticed this.

Correctol was originally a combination of Docusate (a detergent/stool softener) and Yellow Phenolpthalein (an effective laxative).

When the FDA moved to ban Phenolphthalein based products in the late 1990's, Correctol was reformulated, and became 5mg Bisacodyl (aka Dulcolax). At that point there was nothing to distinguish Correctol from any other Bisacodyl based laxative, and the market share began to decrease.

Couple the decreasing market share with the sale of the Company that made the product(Schering-Plough) to Merck. Merck doesn't want to spend any money marketing Correctol, so the product is literally disappearing from the retail market place. According to Merck, it is still available, but absent any marketing effort, it will continue to disappear.

I think with Correctol disappearing I'm going to try the morning suppository routine suggested by Frances and others below. I've been going to try it but maybe this is the reason I need. I'll let you know how it works.

I haven't used or thought about Correctol in years. Back when I was in college I used it during PMS time, but then one time when I was out and had nobody else to get some from a sorority sister told me to do an enema instead. After thinking about it for a short time I did the enema and that was the end of my Correctol days.
