Docusate acts primarily by increasing the penetration of fluid into the faeces. It may also have effects on intestinal fluid secretion, and probably act both as stimulant and faecal softening agent. It also softens ear wax through penetration into the dry matrix of the ceruminous mass, reducing it into semi-solid debris.
