I am taking Equate Stool Softener at the suggestion of my Doctor for a year or two now. One 50 mg tablet every evening. I am wondering where these tablets are made .... I know it is a Walmart product but where do they have it manufactured.

The reason I ask is that one hears of stories about substitute ingredients being put into the formulation and I am a litlle concerned about that.

Thanks.

To be honest, I am not sure, it depends on who the manufacturer is and Wal-Mart does use several.

Is there are manufactured listed on the product packaging?

Is there a reason your doctor has had you on this for so long? That is very unusual, because your body can become dependent on it, which means if you ever stop taking it, you might suffer from severe constipation.
