You need a source for bulk docusate sodium USP.- like Spectrum, Gallipot,
PCCA.
We make it with green soap, polyglycol, and glyceryn.

Would you be willing to share more? I have located docusate sodium
USP and that won't be a problem. My only concerns are the vehicle in
which to compound it (you mention green soap, polyglycol, and
glycerin), and the rectal screw-on applicators for the syringes (can't
figure out what the wholesalers call these plastic pieces!)
Still, any tips or details would be highly appreciated. I know I can
compound the 283mg DOS in 3.4ml sol'n, but really want to make sure it
is well dispersed, stable, etc...
Thank you so much in advance!

Why not use Enemeez?
Very similar.

I agree that Enemeez looks like a great replacement for mini-therevac.
Previously, my patient was paying $3 each to have these compounded.
He would be better off paying the ~$2.30 each for Enemeez (I just
found out about this product, and told him about it).
I figured that I could compound these for him for just the cost of
supplies (30-50 cents each - does that sound realistic?). If I could
get Enemeez for less than $1.50 though I think we'd both be better off
just going that route.
