Greetings Linda!
Actually, I'm taking Colace, not ducolax. And, yes, I can actually swallow these.
I was kinda of leary at first...so I took one...waited awhile, and when I realized I wasn't going to have any problems, I took the second.

I take 2 colace (actually Walmart generic brand) every night...and will continue to do to so until my diet is less dependent upon protein shakes and I get more nutrition through my meals...probably somewhere around 4 month.

I'm still cutting up all of my other pills in half or even 4th's...just no way to split a colace (and don't try it...trust me, it is way tooo bitter and will burn your mouth if you try to open it up..Yup, I tried it!)
