Q: How many grams. I need 238 grams for colonoscopy prep?
submitted by Katieb79 - 3 years ago
A: This IS what the GI doctor ordered for the colonoscopy prep.
submitted bydont know - 3 years agoA: There are 17g of Polyethylene Glycole 3350 (osmotic laxative) in each dose. As a reminder, MiraLAX is not indicated for use in preparation for colonoscopy. We recommend following your doctor’s directions when preparing for a colonoscopy.
submitted byMiraLAX Team - 3 years agoBrand expertA: 8.3oz is equal to 238 grams. Says so on label.
submitted byDHR - 2 years agoA: This bottle. Just an FYI, I needed to split this into two batches. I used my kitchen scale to weigh it. I don’t know why the Miralax “brand expert” is saying it’s not intended for colonoscopy prep; this is the product my gastroenterologist recommended.

Q: Can a toddler use it for constipation?
submitted by Unique Gifts - 8 years ago
A: I would not recommend it (we did, and unfortunately, there were some side effects we weren't aware of). I would do a Google search, and you can see all the studies being done on the issues that parents have seen with giving it to a toddler/child. We ended up getting Culturelle Kids Regularity and it has helped a lot.
submitted bybokes16 - 8 years agoA: Benefiber is a good alternative for small children over MiraLAX. The difference is that one is fiber and the other a laxative. Our pediatrician recommended Benefiber over MiraLAX explaining that the body will not get "addicted" to fiber, as it can with a laxative. It's like eating too many carrots! Fiber won't hurt you and it will keep the bowels regular to avoid constipation. Benefiber sold over the counter. It is tasteless, odorless and colorless and comes in generic form as well. We mixed in our child's water, juice or milk and he never knew it was there.

MiraLAX is my go to product when I feel backed up. I put it in my coffee and it's tasteless and there is no texture. The packets make it easy to take on the go or for travel.
Doesnt do what its supposed to

It didn’t work for me at all. I am impressed though that it doesn’t taste like anything and you can’t feel the powder in your drink.
Fantastic product

This has saved me! I take medication that makes me suffer from constipation and this always keeps me going! There is so scent and mixes into my water really well. It’s tasteless! It’s a good price for the amount you get! The cap can be used for measurements which is a big plus!

Bought this a few days ago and have taken it four times, all four times nothing has happened- it did absolutely nothing. Giving it 2 stars because while it didn't work, it is indeed absolutely tasteless and adds no odd texture to water.
No harsh side effects

MiraLAX Laxative Powder is an effective over-the-counter laxative that helps me stay regular without putting additional strain on my body. No uncomfortable cramping or bloating. This was recommended by my PCP and that gives me peace of mind.
Bad dosage instructions

Beth C. - 4 months ago
originally posted on miralax.com
They claim the markings on the inside of the cap make it easy to ensure you get the correct dosage. Well the dosage markings are white on white, barely visible to the naked eye. Additionally, the dosage is in grams. There is nothing that states what 17 grams equates to, tablespoons, teaspoons. Making it very difficult to ensure you are taking the correct dosage. They need to change the dosage markings and provide u with the teaspoon equivalent
Easy to use, but it Didn't work for me.

I'm not sure why there are so many bad reviews of this product. Especially on packaging and labeling. Packaging is fine. Even with arthritic hands I am able to open it with ease. Aside from needing strong reading glasses to read the labeling, the labeling is actually just fine. As far as the product goes. I suffer from regular constipation issues thanks to all the meds I'm on. I use Miralax and mix it with soda and I can't taste it at all. No grittines or foul aftertaste. Works gently and quickly. Helps give me a normal life. It's a great product that I trust in highly. Again not sure why people have such negative reviews but people love to gripe about anything anymore.
Great Product

Flakes that will not dissolvle

I am prescribed this laxative by the doctor. The last two bottles that I bought had flakes that will not dissolve. I have had this happen before, and it is expensive to have to throw it out. Most of the time, the powder dissolves, but now and then a bottle will have these flakes.

MiraLAX Laxative Powder is a reliable option for digestive relief! I love that it's tasteless, making it easy to mix into any drink without altering the flavor. It works gently and effectively, so I never feel rushed or uncomfortable after taking it. While it may take a little longer to see results compared to other laxatives, I appreciate the gradual approach, which feels more natural. Overall, it's a great choice for anyone looking for a gentle yet effective laxative!

After my discectomy, I initially received a prescription for Senna, but I found that MiraLax worked much faster to relieve my constipation. I only took half of the recommended dosage, and I was pleased to have a bowel movement the very next morning.
Love it

Tasteless and mixes well. Cap makes dosing super easy, and doesn’t cause stomach issues like most laxatives do. Keeps everything move the way it should. It’s a little expensive, but worth it.
Fantastic product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love MiraLAX powder! I like the fact that it doesn’t have any taste and can be mixed in any beverage, cold or hot. It’s also very gentle and doesn’t cause cramping like other laxatives can. I would highly recommend this.
