Description

Polyethylene glycol, commonly marketed under the brand name Miralax, is a medication used to relieve constipation by increasing the frequency of bowel movements and softening the stool. It is available in powder form that can be dissolved in liquid for oral administration. Each package contains 30 sachets of polyethylene glycol powder.

Key Features:

• Osmotic laxative: Polyethylene glycol works by drawing water into the colon, which softens the stool and stimulates bowel movements, resulting in relief from constipation.
• Gentle and effective: Miralax is considered a gentle laxative option that is suitable for long-term use, as it does not cause dependence or tolerance with regular use.
• Flavorless and odorless: The powder formulation of polyethylene glycol is typically flavorless and odorless, making it easy to mix with water or other liquids for consumption.

Usage Instructions:

• The dosage of Miralax varies depending on the severity of constipation and individual response. It is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
• Typically, the recommended starting dose for adults is 17 grams (approximately one sachet) dissolved in 4 to 8 ounces of liquid once daily.
• Stir the powder thoroughly until completely dissolved before drinking. Do not heat the solution or mix it with hot liquids.
• It may take 1 to 3 days to experience the full effects of Miralax. Continue taking the medication as directed until bowel movements become regular.

Precautions:

• Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions or ongoing medications before starting Miralax.
• Use caution if you have a history of gastrointestinal obstruction or perforation, as Miralax may exacerbate these conditions.
• Avoid taking other laxatives or stool softeners while using Miralax, unless directed by your doctor.

Side Effects: While Miralax is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience the following side effects:

• Abdominal bloating
• Gas
• Cramping
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your healthcare provider promptly. Additionally, seek medical attention if you experience severe or persistent abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, or signs of dehydration.
