Advice & Tips
Miralax works great when I take it EVERYDAY. Forgetting a day or two sets me back.
Cost: $25-49 monthly
Date
Oct 01, 2009
Advice & Tips
I must take Miralax EVERYDAY to get a positive effect from it. If I forget to take it for only two days, which I have in the past, it feels like I am completely starting it over again to get any effect from it.
Cost: $25-49 monthly

Advice & Tips
Main problem with Miralax is that it works too well: taking a full dose every day leads to stool that's so soft that you'll find yourself going multiple times a day, and possibly having accidents. My GI doc recommends taking oral docusate, a milder stool softener, and a stimulant suppository. That way, you go when you want to go. Mixed results so far.
