The answer is 10 mL.

Nonionic surfactant docusate sodium has the ability to soften stool, allowing intestinal fluids to enter the fecal bulk. It also has some marginal stimulating qualities. Docusate is either as a solution or in capsule form (DulcoEase, Dioctyl). It can be administered to kids 6 months and older. 6 months to 2-year-olds should administer 12.5 mg (5 mL of Docusal pediatric solution) three times per day. The dosage for kids between the ages of 2 and 12 is 12.5 to 25 mg (5-10 mL) three times per day. The recommended daily dose for adults and children over the age of 12 is up to 500 mg divided into two doses.
