MiraLAX Laxative Powder, Gentle Constipation Relief, PEG 3350, Physician Recommended, No Harsh Side Effects, 14 Dose

Several years ago, we had a family member who was terminally ill, and in terrible pain. The docs knew that this person's time was short, and had prescribed very strong narcotics to ease the pain. unfortunately, strong narcotics also cause terrible, painful almost intractable constipation in no time, and ordinary over the counter medication cannot help. We tried everything available, from prescription laxatives to folk remedies, and the few things that helped had such strong side effects that the cure was worse than the condition.Then, our pediatrician (knowing about everyone in the family) asked if we had heard of Miralax. Of course we hadn't, and he suggested that we call for a prescription, which we did. When we got the stuff, we were surprised because it looked like powdered nothing, and when mixed with a drink or soft food, it had no taste at all. But it worked! It's not like you can dance and cheer in the street over a laxative, but we sure felt like it. And it continued to work, without bad side effects, or bloating, pain, gas or any of the stuff that you expect from a laxative. Our relative had one less problem during the final months of life, and we were grateful.A few years later, a child in the family was taking a medication that had some not very comfortable side effects. When the same pediatrician recommended Miralax, we were wary: it seemed awfully strong for a kid. But he said that the adult dose was okay for an older (young teen) child. Once again, it worked without any bad side effects.Now that Miralax is over the counter, we keep a bottle in the house just in case anyone has a problem. (we call a doc for an okay when a kid is involved) It's safe, effective and has no bad side effects. What more could you want in any medication?

Nothing more.

worked good for doctor visit

I have been chronically constipated since about the age of 8. I finally wanted to flush my bowels so I tried this and all I can say is it is AMAZING! Once it arrived I started taking 2 cap fulls of it once a day. Now, it wont start working immediately so don't get discouraged if you aren't relieved right away, it'll take about 2 or 3 days to start working. This stuff is definitely a miracle drug, or, miracle laxative. This stuff really cleans out your bowels well, it says it's for occasional constipation but if you are chronically constipated trust me, take 2 cap fulls a day and in 3 days all your problems will be solved and you will be healthy again. Great buy!

There in no sane person who thinks a colonoscopy prep is pleasant. I just can't drink the gallon or more of that horrible brine-like liquid that seems to be the prep of choice. I negotiated this prep with my doctor and was still nervous. I had to mix the whole bottle of MiraLAX with two bottles of Gatorade. I chose orange. It mixed in so that there was no grit or anything...it just tasted like orange Gatorade. Of course, you have to take laxative tabs in addition. But compared to other prep choices this is the most tolerable and it accomplished the goal of an empty colon for a successful colonoscopy. Good luck!!

Actually has no taste! But you still know. Lol. All in all impressive

Did its job

It completely disolves
