Dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate works by increasing the water content in the feces or increasing water secretion in the intestine.
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate also works as an earwax softener by softening dry and hardened earwax.
This makes it easier to remove earwax and reduces discomfort inside the ear.
Dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium is also used in the synthesis of electrospun fibers for specific and controlled antibiotic drug release.
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate is used as a wetting and dispersing agent and as a pesticide, and also as a component of oil dispersant.

The structural formula of dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate anion is R−O−C(=O)−CH(SO).
Dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate has the ethylhexyl group H 3 C−(CH 2 ) 3 −C( −CH2 −CH3 )H− CH2 − .
The conjugate acid can be defined as a twofold carboxylate ester with dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate.
The compound is a white, wax-like, plastic solid with an odor reminiscent of octyl alcohol.
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate begins to decompose at approximately 220 °C.
The solubility of dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate in water is 14 g/L at 25 °C.
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate increases to 55 g/L at 70 °C.
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate has low solubility but is better in polar solvents.
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate breaks down easily under basic conditions but is stable to acids.

Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate can be obtained by treating dioctyl maleate with sodium bisulfite.
The bisulfite anion contributes to the double bond:

CH=CH− + H2SO4−3 → −CH(−SO−3) −CH2−

Ingesting dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate may cause side effects such as intestinal bloating and occasional cramping pain.
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate is not known to be carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic.

Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate acts as detergents and is used to soften stools when reducing the discomfort or difficulty of defecation is desired.
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate are anionic surfactants that produce their effects by allowing intestinal fluids and fatty substances to penetrate the fecal mass.
When used alone, it usually takes 1 to 3 days for them to take full effect.
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate can be combined with other laxatives.
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate is often recommended for elderly patients because it is associated with very few side effects.
The only adverse effects reported are diarrhea and mild abdominal cramps.

Since dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate also softens the stool, mineral oil (liquid petroleum jelly) with surfactants may be considered.
Mineral oil acts as a lubricant and coats the intestinal contents, preventing the absorption of fecal water.
