Frequently asked questions
Polyethylene Glycol (sold as Miralax) is an osmotic laxative. It works by holding water in the stool, which softens it and increases the frequency and ease of bowel movements. It is not absorbed by the body and generally begins working within one to three days.
Short-term use of up to two weeks is well established for occasional constipation. Longer-term use for chronic constipation may be appropriate for some patients but should be monitored by a physician to rule out underlying causes and ensure the medication remains effective and safe.
The standard adult dose is 17 grams of powder dissolved in 4 to 8 ounces of liquid, taken once daily. Your physician may adjust this based on your response and overall health.
Common side effects include nausea, bloating, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea if the dose is too high. Serious side effects are rare but contact your doctor if you experience severe abdominal pain, blood in the stool, or no response after several days of use.
Polyethylene Glycol has few known drug interactions because it is not absorbed systemically. However, it may affect the absorption of oral medications taken at the same time, so it is best to space doses apart from other drugs and to inform your physician of everything you are currently taking.
You should see a physician in person if you experience unexplained weight loss, blood in your stool, severe abdominal pain, constipation that worsens despite treatment, or if you have not had a bowel movement in more than a week. These may indicate a condition that needs further evaluation.
