What is Miralax
Polyethylene glycolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryPolyethylene glycol (PEG) is a synthetic polymer made from ethylene glycol molecules joined by an ether linkage. Depending on the molecular weight, PEGs can be liquids or waxy solids. The most common types are PEG 3350 and PEG 400. PEGs have different applications in medical and industrial fields. PEG 3350 is an over-the-counter osmotic laxative used to treat constipation, and PEG 3350 is also used to cleanse the colon before a colonoscopy. PEGs are useful in gastroenterology because they have strong water-binding capacity

Effectiveness
How Miralax Affects PatientsPEG 3350 causes diarrhea by increasing the amount of water in the intestines. Effects usually start within 1-2 hours after taking it. When used to prepare for a colonoscopy, it is often combined with electrolytes to prevent dehydration. Over-the-counter versions of PEG 3350 do not contain any salts that can be absorbed. Studies have shown that it does not affect the ability of the intestines to absorb fluids or create and maintain electrochemical gradients.
How Miralax works in the bodyOsmotic laxatives contain substances that draw water into the large intestine, making the stool softer and easier to pass. One such substance is polyethylene glycol, which binds to water molecules and causes them to accumulate in the colon. This accumulation leads to looser stools.
When to interrupt dosage
The recommended dosage of Miralax is contingent upon the diagnosed disorder, such as Dry Eye Syndrome, Bowel preparation therapy and Chronic Constipation. The quantity of dosage may deviate, depending on the method of delivery outlined in the table hereunder.Condition

Miralax Reviews: What are patients saying about Miralax?
5Patient Review
8/14/2022 I've had chronic constipation since childhood and it's only gotten worse as I've aged. Miralax is a lifesaver that helps me avoid severe symptoms on a daily basis.
5Patient Review
10/1/2022 I've had IBS for over 30 years, and this is the best treatment I've ever found. Thank you, Marilax!
5Patient Review
12/13/2019 This medication helped me heal my fissure quickly and effectively.
4.7Patient Review
9/4/2019 I've been trying different treatments for my constipation for many years now, and Miralax seems to be doing the best job. I'm using it daily in combination with magnesium citrate, and so far so good.
4Patient Review
8/25/2021 I take this medication every day without any issues. It's very effective and I'm 74 years old.
4Patient Review
2/4/2019 The product works well, but I have difficulty holding and measuring the dosage from the container.
3.7Patient Review
12/30/2021 This medication does help, but I often feel nauseous after taking it.
2.7Patient Review
8/18/2019 I experienced some very severe and unpleasant side effects after taking only one dose of this product. I ended up in the emergency room with cramping, dizziness, nausea, back pain, and more. Thankfully, the CT scan and blood tests came back normal. However, I will definitely be looking for a different constipation remedy in the future.
2.3Patient Review
9/1/2018 I had some bad abdominal pains after taking this medication for a few days, as prescribed by my doctor. I'm going to look for something else because chronic constipation is an issue for me and I'm getting older.
1.7Patient Review
7/31/2018 While this drug did help with my constipation issue, the back pain it caused was unbearable. I stopped taking it and will never go near it again.
1Patient Review
4/18/2020 I experienced severe stomach pain and rectal bleeding after taking this drug. Additionally, I was incredibly dizzy and did not have a single bowel movement. I believe that a class action lawsuit should be filed against the company for their sale of this dangerous, untested drug.

11/9/2019 Unfortunately, this medication caused me a great deal of discomfort. I experienced hot flashes, cramps, and constipation. I stopped and started the medication three different times to be sure it was Miralax that was causing the problems, and it unfortunately was.

2/8/2022 I cannot recommend this medication. I began vomiting shortly after taking it as prescribed, and ended up having to cancel my colonoscopy because I couldn't keep the medicine down. This was a terrible experience all around.

How long does it take for MiraLAX to make you poop?
"MiraLAX typically causes bowel movements to begin within an hour of consumption, but this may differ for some people. There is no need to be concerned if you do not have a bowel movement after drinking the first half of the MiraLAX, simply continue to drink liquids and consume the second half as directed."
