When occasional constipation slows you down, MiraLAX laxative powder works naturally with the water in your body to hydrate and soften your stool without harsh side effects like gas, bloating, cramping or sudden urgency.

MiraLAX is designed to work with your body, supporting your backed up gut along the way. Providing predictable constipation relief in 1-3 days without the harsh side effects of stimulant laxatives. Taking MiraLAX is easy, the flavor-free, grit-free powder dissolves seamlessly into any hot or cold beverage, from water and juice to coffee and tea. And because it’s free from sugar, preservatives, and gluten, you can feel good about choosing a gentle laxative for constipation that fits your lifestyle. A reliable choice among stool softeners for women and men, making it one of the go-to laxatives that will gently relieve your constipation.

Q: How many grams. I need 238 grams for colonoscopy prep?
submitted by Katieb79 - 3 years ago
A: 8.3oz is equal to 238 grams. Says so on label.
submitted byDHR - 3 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.
submitted byElle - 8 months 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: This IS what the GI doctor ordered for the colonoscopy prep.

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.

It bloats
This bloats. If you have issues with chronic constipation, see a doctor, because this shouldn’t be a long term solution. It just bloats you after a while. I’m stopping this as of yesterday as I prepare for my second appointment with my gastroenterology office for another treatment. It was MD recommended for me, but now 6 months later, I’m not taking it anymore. The bloating is disabling.

Quick and Easy Solution
I’ve been using MiraLAX for occasional constipation and it really helps. It’s easy to mix into water or juice and doesn’t have any taste, so it’s simple to take. It works gently without cramps or urgency, which I like. It usually takes about a day to work for me. Overall, a reliable and gentle laxative powder.

Works every time
MiraLAX Powder has been a total game-changer for managing occasional constipation. What I love most is how gentle and effective it is—no sudden urgency, no cramping, and no uncomfortable surprises. It works with your body, not against it. It’s completely tasteless and dissolves easily in water, juice, coffee—you name it. I often mix it into my morning drink and don’t even notice it’s there. Within 1 to 3 days, it works like clockwork, giving smooth, predictable results without disrupting my day. Unlike stimulant laxatives, MiraLAX doesn’t cause dependency or discomfort. It’s especially helpful during times when things slow down—whether due to travel, diet changes, medication, or stress. If you’re looking for a non-habit-forming, doctor-recommended option that just works, I highly recommend giving MiraLAX a try. It’s a staple in my wellness routine now!

Gentle, effective, and easy-to-use laxative that m
I’ve found MiraLAX to be very effective. It mixes easily into water or juice without any noticeable taste or texture, which makes it convenient to take daily. The packaging is straightforward and easy to measure out the right dosage. It does take about 1–3 days to work, so it’s not instant, but it’s reliable and doesn’t cause cramping or discomfort. Overall, it’s worth the price for how well it works and how easy it is to use.

Amazing how fast this works!
My son is an extremely picky eater so sometimes he gets constipated and this product is a life saver! It works super fast. It has no taste or smell, so you are able to mix and drink with anything, even water! It dissolves very quickly and doesn’t leave a sandy texture in your drink afterwards. I honestly feel as well as this product works it’s worth every penny! It works so well that my son will ask to have some if he knows his stomach is bothering him. I would highly recommend this product to anyone anytime.

Works good
For the money, ease and relief this works great! No taste you can mix it with anything. It takes a day or two to work but it does work without diarrhea, just a normal BM. It’s reliable when taking daily.

Effectiveness
MiraLAX is my reliable option for occasional constipation if you don’t mind waiting a day or two for results. It’s not meant for fast relief, but it’s a good choice for people who want something easy, gentle, and generally well tolerated. MiraLAX is a gentle, effective laxative that works gradually, without the urgency or cramping some stimulant laxatives can cause. It’s especially helpful for people who want predictable relief without feeling rushed to the bathroom

Perfect
Very good. It works naturally with your body's water to hydrate, soften, and ease the passage of stool, without stimulating the nerves in the colon like stimulant laxatives. I recommend it.

A great product for constipation
For occasional constipation MiraLAX is the best! It’s easy to use, dissolves, completely, has no taste at all, does not upset your stomach, and it is a good value for your money. The bottles are super easy to open and the cap is actually used to measure the amount of powder you put in your water. If you drink it in the evening, you be ready to go 💩 in the morning!

Game changer
This product is a complete game changer. I have suffered for the last six to eight months with constipation. I started taking miralax and I have a perfect stool every morning now. It is truly a lifesaver for this 73-year-old man. I should add the dissolves and you don't even know it's in your beverage. So many other products on the market clump and turn into cement or taste badly or gritty. You will have none of that with Miralax.

Easy to take & works
No scent or flavour so good to add to any tea or beverage. There is no texture when added to hot beverages. And just gets the job done. Packaging is easy to handle and cost seems fair.

Very gentle for sensitive bodies
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 — Gentle, Effective Relief I’ve been using MiraLAX occasionally for the past few months, and it’s become my go-to solution for occasional constipation. What I appreciate most is how gentle and effective it is — there’s no cramping or sudden urgency like with some other laxatives. It works gradually, usually within 1-3 days, and feels very natural.

Worked well!
Honestly this worked well for me. I had previously used a stimulant lax and it unfortunately caused great discomfort, cramping, and didn't work. However, I used this and it started working rather quickly and I don't have any side effects personally.
