Why must you drink plenty of water while taking colace?

I’m taking colace 100mg a day and I was given direction from the doctor to take two Vegetable Laxatives in the morning and two at night. I’m not constipated but I have rectal bleeding due to tons of internal hemorrhoids so my stool needs to be soft to help prevent any extra damage. But why is it so important there is a sticker on the RX bottle that says drink plenty of water while taking this medication?

Because, over time, the taker can become dehydrated. Many medicines can cause a water depletion effect due to how they work in conjunction with treating a problem.
